Question

Which of the spellings of the word is correct?

1. A. Committee (Correct answer)
2. B. Comitee
3. C. Committe
4. D. Commetee

Correct Answer

Option A — Committee

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Committee.

Key Points

• The correct spelling is committee — double m, double t, double e.
• All three distractors drop one of those doubles.

Additional Information

• A memory hook: committee has three pairs of double letters in a row of nine — *co-mm-i-tt-ee*.
• Related words follow the same doubling: commit, committed, committing, commitment — but note that commitment has only one *t*, a classic trap.
• Other frequently misspelt double-letter words: accommodation, occurrence, embarrass, millennium, necessary (one c, two s).
