Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Jaundice
Correct Answer: Option 1 — "Jaundice"
Correct spelling: J-A-U-N-D-I-C-E ✓
"Jaundice" = a medical condition characterised by yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, caused by an excess of the pigment bilirubin in the blood; a yellowing condition. ✓
Key: JAUN-DICE → ' jaund ' (from French 'jaune' = yellow) + '-ice' (suffix). ✓
Why other options are wrong:
Option 2 ' Jaundise ' — wrong suffix: '- ise ' instead of '-ice.' ✗
Option 3 ' Joundice ' — wrong vowel: 'Jou-' instead of 'Jau-' (the 'au' makes an 'aw' sound). ✗
Option 4 ' Jaundiece ' — extra 'e': ' Jaundi -e- ce ' instead of ' Jaundi-ce '; no extra 'e' before the final ' ce .' ✗
