Spot the spelling error. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The misspelt word is ‘Archaetype’.

Correct Spelling: The correct spelling is Archetype.

The word is derived from the Greek arkhe- (original/primitive) and tupos (model). The "a" after the "h" is an error; while "archaic" uses that sequence, "archetype" does not. It refers to a very typical example of a certain person or thing, or a recurrent symbol or motif in literature and art.

The words Misanthrope, Quintessential, and Resurgence are spelled correctly.
