repentance in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Select the wrongly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: D) repentence
Rule: the noun keeps the vowel of its own adjective — -ant → -ance, -ent → -ence.
*repentant* → repentance, *tolerant* → tolerance; but *innocent* → innocence, *different* → difference.
The adjective here is *repentant*, with an a, so the noun must be repentance.
*Repentence* → Repentance = deep regret for a wrong done *(पश्चाताप, पछतावा)*.
Why the others are fine.
• occurrence = an event, something that happens *(घटना)* — *occur* stresses its last syllable, so the r doubles before -ence.
• questionnaire = a printed list of questions used for a survey *(प्रश्नावली)* — a French loan, double n, ending -aire.
• continuous = going on without a break *(निरंतर, लगातार)* — the ending is -uous, neve
