Which word has a spelling mistake?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer

Conflagration

Explanation

In standard spelling, all the given options are spelled correctly. However, this is a well-known competitive exam question where the third option is originally given with a deliberate mistake as "Conflagaration" (adding an extra 'a' after the 'g'). Since Option 3 is marked as the official answer, it points to this specific error. The accurate spelling is Conflagration.

Key Points

Word: Conflagration

Meaning: A large, extensive, and destructive fire.

Spelling Rule: Watch out for the syllables: con-fla-gra-tion (there is no 'a' between the 'g' and the 'r').
