Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer
Antideluvian
Explanation
Rule: Standard English orthography dictates that words referencing the period before the biblical flood are derived from the Latin prefix ante- (meaning "before") and diluvium (meaning "flood").
Formula: Latin: ante (before) + diluvium (flood) = Antediluvian
Application: The correct spelling is Antediluvian (with an "e" after the 't'). The option provided uses an "i" (Antideluvian), making it the misspelled word.
