Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer
Unaminous
Explanation
The question asks to identify the misspelled word from the given choices. Option 1 is misspelled; the correct spelling is Unanimous. The word originates from the Latin roots unus (meaning one) and animus (meaning mind), which combined signify being of one mind or in complete agreement. The incorrect spelling swaps the positions of the 'a' and 'i'.
Option 2 (Ubiquitous) is spelled correctly and means present, appearing, or found everywhere. Option 3 (Utilitarian) is spelled correctly and refers to something designed to be useful or practical rather than attractive. Option 4 (Unobtrusive) is spelled correctly and means not conspicuous or attracting attention.
Key Points
Spelling errors on your exam paper often involve scrambled or misplaced vowels in common roots. Remembering the underlying root words, such as un-anim-ous (one mind), helps you verify the correct sequence of letters easily.
