surprising in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Find the misspelt word.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Surprissing
Rule: surprise has a single s in the middle; adding -ing drops the silent e and never doubles the s: sur-pri-sing.
Compare *rise* → *rising*, *advise* → *advising*.
The printed Surprissing *(आश्चर्यजनक)* doubles the s — that is the misspelling.
Correct form: Surprising.
Why the others are fine.
• Supreme *(सर्वोच्च)* — su-preme, ends in -eme like *extreme*.
• Superman *(अतिमानव)* — super + man, one p.
• Illustrate *(चित्रित करना, उदाहरण से समझाना)* — il-lus-trate, double l at the start only.
Word help.
misspelt = spelt wrongly *(ग़लत वर्तनी वाला)*.
*Surprising has two traps — keep the first r (not "suprising") and keep the s single.*
