Select the INCORRECTLY spelt word..
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Manoevre
Answer: Manoevre
Explanation:
The correct spelling is "Manoeuvre" (British English). The given spelling "Manoevre" is incorrect.
Let’s review the words with meanings:
• Embarrassment – a feeling of self-consciousness or shame – शर्मिंदगी
• Consistent – acting or done in the same way over time – लगातार / स्थिर
• Occurrence – an incident or event – घटना
• Manoeuvre – a carefully planned or skilful movement or strategy – चाल / चालाकी से किया गया काम
So, the incorrectly spelt word is Manoevre – correct spelling: Manoeuvre. - SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Higher Secondary Level) Spelling
Select the correctly spelt word to replace the underlined word in the given sentence.
The manover executed by the cavalry was brilliant and unexpected.Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Manoeuvre
Meaning: manoeuvre = a planned, skilful movement, especially of troops *(युद्धाभ्यास, चाल, कौशलपूर्ण गतिविधि)*.
A cavalry *(घुड़सवार सेना)* movement that was brilliant and unexpected is exactly that.
Build the spelling.
man + oeu + vre = m-a-n-o-e-u-v-r-e (British)
The American spelling is *maneuver*.
The French vowel cluster is o-e-u, and the ending is -vre (like *centre*).
Why the others are wrong.
#B Manover — drops the whole -oeu- cluster; this is the misspelling in the sentence itself.
#B Moneuvere — begins *mon-* instead of man-, and ends *-vere* instead of -vre.
#B Manouvere — writes the vowels o-u instead of o-e-u, and ends *-vere* instead of -vre.
Answer: Manoeuvre
*Remember the - SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Select the option which is incorrectly spelt.
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Manuever
Rule: the word is maneuver (American) or manoeuvre (British) — the vowel group after *man-* is -eu- in the US form and -oeu- in the UK form; -ue- exists in neither.
Manuever is the misspelling; the correct form is Maneuver / Manoeuvre = a skilful move, a planned military exercise *(युक्ति, चाल; युद्धाभ्यास)*.
The word comes from French *main d'oeuvre* (work of the hand), which is where the odd *oeu* comes from.
Why the others are fine.
• Macabre = gruesome, connected with death *(भयावह, वीभत्स)* — the silent *-re* ending is correct, as in *genre*.
• Mnemonic = a memory aid *(स्मृति-सहायक सूत्र)* — the silent *m* before *n* is correct; the word is from Greek *mneme*, memory.
• Maelstrom = a v - SSC CGL 2022 T-1 Spelling

The staff members were attempting to manoeuvre the board of directors for the abolition of pay disparityAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) No error
Answer: No error
Explanation:
The verb manoeuvre is correctly spelled in British English with the sequence m-a-n-o-e-u-v-r-e. The other options all distort this ordering or omit essential letters.
• manouever: letters swapped
• manoeuver: extra “e” in wrong place
• manouvre: missing the “e” after “o”
Since manoeuvre is accurate, there is no error.
