Question

From the given options, find the word which cannot be formed using the letters of the given word: INTELLIGENCE

1. A. CANCEL (Correct answer)
2. B. NEGLECT
3. C. GENTLE
4. D. INCITE

Correct Answer

Option A — CANCEL

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is CANCEL.

Key Points

• The source word INTELLIGENCE contains: I, N, T, E, L, L, I, G, E, N, C, E — one C and no A.
• CANCEL needs an A, which is absent, and two Cs, while only one is available. It cannot be formed.
• The others are all available: NEGLECT (N, E, G, L, E, C, T), GENTLE (G, E, N, T, L, E), INCITE (I, N, C, I, T, E).
• Check the rarest letter first — a single missing letter settles the question without auditing the whole word.

Additional Information

• Word-formation questions turn on letter availability, including how many times a letter repeats in the source word.
• Start with the rarest letter in the candidate word: one absent letter settles the question with no further checking.
• INTELLIGENCE supplies I, N, T, E, L, L, I, G, E, N, C, E — note there is only one C and no A, which is where most candidate words fail.
