Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer
Validictory
Explanation
The question asks to identify the misspelled word from the choices provided. The word "Validictory" is spelled incorrectly; the correct spelling is Valedictory (with an e after the 'd', not an 'i'). The word comes from the Latin roots vale (meaning farewell) and dicere (meaning to say), and it refers to a farewell address or speech, typically given at a graduation ceremony.
The other options are all spelled correctly:
Voracious means having a very eager approach to an activity, or devouring great quantities of food.
Vivacious means attractively lively, animated, and full of energy.
Vindictive means having or showing a strong or unreasoning desire for revenge.
Key Points
Spelling test questions on your exam paper often exploit vowel substitution traps (like swapping 'e' for 'i'). When reviewing words related to speeches or ceremonies, pay close attention to unstressed syllables where vowels sound similar but follow strict etymological spellings.
