Fill in the blank with the correctly spelt word.
The scientist was known for her _______ adherence to ethical standards.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: unassailable
Explanation
• The correct spelling is unassailable, which means impossible to doubt, attack, or dispute.
• It is formed by adding the prefix un- to the root verb assail (spelled with double 's') plus the suffix -able.
• Common spelling errors involve using a single 's' (unasailable) or replacing the suffix with '-ible' (unassailible).
Example: Her argument was backed by unassailable logic and solid evidence.
