monastery in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Which part of the following sentence contains a spelling error?
He received commendation (1) for his meticulous (2) work on the restoration (3) of the ancient monastry (4).Answer & explanation
Answer: B) (4)
Rule: *monastery* ends in -ery, like *cemetery* and *stationery*. The e before the final -ry is never dropped.
Example: *The monks returned to the monastery at dusk.*
The sentence prints monastry in part (4).
The correct form is monastery = a house where monks live *(मठ, विहार)*.
Part (4) is named by the second option in the list, so the answer is option 2.
Why the others are fine.
• (1) He received commendation — *commendation* *(प्रशंसा, सराहना)* takes double m and single d; correctly spelt.
• (2) for his meticulous — *meticulous* = very careful about small details *(अत्यंत सावधान, बारीकी से काम करने वाला)*; correct.
• (3) work on the restoration — *restoration* *(जीर्णोद्धार, पुनरुद्धार)*
