Try a sample Spelling question

Question 1Easy

Which word is spelled correctly?

A) necesary
B) neccesary
C) necessary
D) neccessary

Answer: The correct spelling 'necessary' has one 'c' and a double 's'. A helpful memory trick is 'one collar, two socks' (1 c, 2 s). Options A and B both miss the double 's', and option D incorrectly doubles both the 'c' and 's'.

Question 2Medium

Luca's science report described how certain bacteria can develop __________ to antibiotics over time. Which option shows the correct spelling of the missing word?

A) resistance
B) resistanse
C) resistence
D) rezistance

Answer: 'Resistance' is the correct spelling, ending in '-ance' not '-ence'. This is a commonly confused suffix pairing.

Question 3Hard

The Year 9 class learnt that the word 'geology' comes from the Greek root 'geo', meaning earth, which also appears in related words. Knowing this, which of the following is the correct spelling of the study of shapes and spatial relationships derived from the Greek roots 'geo' (earth) and 'metron' (measure)?

A) geometry
B) geometery
C) geommetry
D) geometrie

Answer: The correct spelling is 'geometry', from the Greek roots 'geo' (earth) and 'metron' (measure). Common errors include inserting an extra 'e' before '-try' (geometery) or doubling the 'm' (geommetry); knowing the Greek etymology helps secure the correct sequence of letters.
