Select the INCORRECTLY spelt word.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Perspicuious.

  • Perspicuous is written wrongly as "Perspicuious." "Perspicuous," which means "clearly expressed and easily understood," is the right spelling.
  • The additional "i" that was inserted before the "ous" ending in "Perspicuious" is a mistake. It should be spelt "Perspicuous."
  • Compared to other options
    • Peruse: The spelling of this is correct. It means attentively reading or examining anything.
    • Pervade: This is spelled correctly. It means to spread through and be noticeable in every part of life.
    • Purvey: This is spelled correctly. It means to supply goods, especially in terms of food or provisions.
