Which sentence contains a misspelled word?
Answer & explanation
Answer: B) He didn't want to embarrass himself at the start of the new millenium .
Correct Answer: Option 2 — "He didn't want to embarrass himself at the start of the new millenium ."
The misspelled word is " millenium " — the correct spelling is "millennium."
Correct spelling: m - i - l - l - e - n - n - i - u - m (double 'l' AND double 'n')
The error: ' millenium ' has only ONE 'n' instead of the required TWO 'n's ( mille -n- ium vs mille-nn-ium ).
