Which is the correct spelling for a word meaning 'capable of being done'?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer
Feasible
Explanation
Etymological Root: The word comes from the Anglo-French word faisable, which is derived from the verb faire (meaning to do or to make). The standard English spelling retains the ea vowel cluster in the first syllable and ends with the classic adjective suffix -ible.
Suffix Accuracy: The word uses the suffix -ible rather than "-able", making options like "Feaceable" grammatically wrong despite trying to link it phonetically to words like "peaceable."
Key Points
Word: Feasible
Meaning: Possible to do easily or conveniently; capable of being accomplished or brought about.
Grammatical Role: Adjective (functions to describe a plan, project, or method that can successfully be carried out).
