Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Unanimous
Correct Answer: Option 2 — "Unanimous"
Correct spelling: U-N-A-N-I-M-O-U-S ✓
"Unanimous" = (of two or more people) fully in agreement; (of a decision, vote, or opinion) held or carried by everyone involved; without any dissenting votes. ✓
Example: 'The board reached a unanimous decision to approve the project.' ✓
Memory tip: UN-ANIM-OUS — from Latin 'unanimus' (uni = one + animus = mind) = 'of one mind.' ✓
Why other options are wrong:
Option 1 'Unianimous' — inserts extra 'ia' after 'uni': 'uni-A-nImous' instead of 'un-AN-imous.' ✗
Option 3 'Uninamous' — replaces 'an' with 'in': 'un-IN-amous' instead of 'un-AN-imous.' ✗
Option 4 'Unanimus' — drops the 'o' in '-ous': 'unanim-US' instead of 'u
