Question

Choose the word with the correct spelling

1. A. Vahicle
2. B. Vehicle (Correct answer)
3. C. Vahical
4. D. Vehicel

Correct Answer

Option B — Vehicle

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Vehicle.

Key Points

• The correct spelling is vehicle — note the h after the *e*, and the ending -icle.
• *Vahicle*, *Vahical* and *Vehicel* are all misspellings; the trap is that the *h* is silent in speech.

Additional Information

• Words with a silent h worth grouping: *vehicle, honest, hour, heir, ghost, rhythm, exhaust*.
• The -icle ending appears in *article, particle, cubicle, icicle*; do not confuse it with -ical (*practical, logical*), which forms adjectives.
• Latin *vehiculum*, from *vehere* "to carry", also gives vehement and convey.
