Question 1 — Easy
Hugo helped the younger student who had fallen and hurt herself. Which word correctly fills the blank? He was very kind to ___ students who needed help.
Answer: 'Other' is the correct spelling. It has two syllables: o-ther. The word ends in '-er', not '-ar'. Note: options A and C are the same misspelling here; only 'other' (D) is correct. 'Ether' is a different word entirely (it is a chemical substance).
Question 2 — Medium
Can you ___ the birds singing loudly in the trees early this morning?
Answer: 'Hear' means to listen with your ears. 'Here' means in this place, while 'heare' and 'heer' are misspellings.
Question 3 — Hard
He got a small blister on the ___ of his left foot.
Answer: 'heel' is the back part of your foot. The other choices are words that sound alike but do not fit this sentence.
