Question

Out of four words, one word is correctly spelt. Find the correctly spelt word.

1. A. dysentery (Correct answer)
2. B. momentery
3. C. cemetary
4. D. comentary

Correct Answer

Option A — dysentery

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is dysentery.

Key Points

• Dysentery is the correct spelling — an infection of the intestines producing severe diarrhoea with blood or mucus.
• The other three are all misspelt:
  • momentery → correct spelling is momentary
  • cemetary → correct spelling is cemetery
  • comentary → correct spelling is commentary

Additional Information

• A reliable memory aid: cemetery contains three *e*s and no *a*, while momentary ends in *-ary* like *temporary* and *ordinary*.
• Commentary needs a double *m*, following *comment*.
