Answer: Option 1 (Luxuriant) - SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Higher Secondary Level) Spelling
Which sentence contains a word that is spelled incorrectly?
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) The rainforest appeared luxurient with thick green foliage.
The misspelt word.
luxurient (wrong) → luxuriant (correct) = growing thickly and richly *(घना, हरा-भरा, प्रचुर)*.
It comes from *luxuriate*, so the ending is -iant, not -ient.
Why the others are fine.
#B abundant = plentiful *(प्रचुर)* — spelt correctly, ending -ant.
#B bounteous = generous, given freely *(उदार, भरपूर)* — correct; it keeps the -eous of *bounty + -eous*.
#B lavish = rich and costly, generous *(भव्य, शाही)* — correct.
Answer: The rainforest appeared luxurient with thick green foliage.
*Luxuriant (plant growth, -iant) vs luxurious (comfort, -ious) — both are tested.*
Examples
- “The garden was full of luxuriant greenery after the rains.”
