Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer
Wrechedness
Explanation
The word "Wrechedness" is misspelt. The correct spelling is "Wretchedness", which means a state of extreme unhappiness, misery, or poor condition. The word requires "tch" after "Wre" to form the correct spelling.
The other options—"Whimsical," "Whistleblower," and "Wilderness"—are correctly spelt English words. "Whimsical" means playful or unusual, "Whistleblower" refers to a person who exposes wrongdoing, and "Wilderness" refers to an uncultivated natural area.
Key Point
Words containing the root "wretch" are commonly related to misery or suffering. The correct spelling "wretchedness" follows the pattern of adding the suffix "-ness" to the adjective "wretched."
