SSC GD 2026 PYQ — Question 64

Correct Answer

Telecommunication

Explanation

The question asks to identify the misspelled word from the given choices. According to the provided official key, Option 3 is the intended answer. In competitive exams, this word is frequently tested using common spelling traps such as omitting one of the double letters (like "Telecomunication" with a single 'm') or altering the vowels. The correct and standard spelling of the word is Telecommunication, which combines the Greek prefix tele- (meaning distant) with the noun communication.

Option 1 (Transmutation) is spelled correctly and means the act of changing or altering the form, character, or substance of something. Option 2 (Temperamental) is spelled correctly and refers to a person prone to unpredictable changes of mood. Option 4 (Transcontinental) is spelled correctly and refers to something crossing or extending across a continent.

Key Points

Spelling questions on your exam paper often target long words with prefixes or double consonants. Breaking down words into their components, like tele- and communication, ensures you can spot missing letters or structural errors quickly.
