Choose the option that completes the sentence using the correct spelling.
It is my _________ that municipal employees handle their jobs with great professionalism. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer to this spelling question is belief.

Here is the breakdown of why this is the correct choice:

Rule of Thumb: This word follows the Standard English spelling rule: "i before e, except after c." Since there is no "c" preceding the vowel pair, "i" comes first.

Meaning: Here, "belief" is a noun referring to an acceptance that something is true or that any particular statement is correct.
