Choose the incorrect spelling:
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Refridgerator
" Refridgerator " is the incorrectly spelled word. The correct spelling is "Refrigerator" (R-E-F-R-I-G-E-R-A-T-O-R). The error is the placement of 'd' — " Refrid -" instead of " Refri -g- erator ." The word comes from the Latin " refrigerare " (to cool). "Bureaucracy" = B-U-R-E-A-U-C-R-A-C-Y ✓ (a system of government with many complicated rules); "Garrulous" = G-A-R-R-U-L-O-U-S ✓ (excessively talkative); "Acquiesce" = A-C-Q-U-I-E-S-C-E ✓ (to accept something reluctantly). The only misspelled word is Refridgerator .

Select the correctly spelt word.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Refrigerator
Meaning: refrigerator = an appliance that keeps food cold *(रेफ्रिजरेटर, प्रशीतक)*.
Build the spelling.
re + frig + er + ator — from Latin *frigus* = cold (as in *frigid*).
R-e-f-r-i-g-e-r-a-t-o-r — five syllables: re·frig·er·a·tor.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Refridgerator — adds a d before *g*; the short form *fridge* has a *d*, but the full word does not.
#B Refrigirator — writes -gir- for -ger-; the vowel after *g* is e.
#B Refrigator — drops the syllable -er-, leaving only four syllables.
Answer: Refrigerator
*Fridge has a d; refrigerator never does.*
Examples
- “She stored the leftovers in the refrigerator.”
