Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: Mellifluous
Explanation
• Mellifluous is the correct spelling. It refers to a sound or voice that is pleasing, musical, and smooth to hear.
• The word originates from the Latin elements mel (honey) and fluere (to flow).
• Common error: Students often mistakenly use a single 'l' (*Melifluous*) or misplace vowels in the suffix (*-flouous* or *-fluas*). Remember it has a double 'l' and ends with -fluous.
• Example: The singer captivated the audience with her mellifluous voice.
