truculence in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Which of the following words is spelled incorrectly?
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Truculance
Rule: adjectives ending in -ent form nouns in -ence, never *-ance*.
*truculent → truculence*, just as *confident → confidence* and *violent → violence*.
The misspelt word is Truculance; the correct form is truculence = aggressive readiness to fight *(उग्रता, लड़ाकूपन)*.
Apply it here.
Truculance (wrong) → truculence (right) *(a की जगह e)*.
Why the others are fine.
• Soliloquy = speaking one's thoughts aloud when alone, as in a play *(स्वगत कथन, आत्मभाषण)* — from Latin *solus* (alone) + *loqui* (speak); the *-quy* ending is correct.
• Metamorphosis = a complete change of form *(कायापलट, रूपांतरण)* — Greek *meta* + *morphē*; the *ph* and the *-osis* ending are correct.
• Juxtaposition = placin
