Question

Find out the incorrectly spelled word

• A. dexterous
• B. acuminous
• C. ardous
• D. sagacious

Hint:

The adjective 'arduous' is frequently misspelled by omitting the first 'u'.
Always remember the rhythmic pronunciation of 'ar-du-ous' to help lock in its correct spelling.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Find the incorrectly spelled word.
Scan each option for spelling errors against the standard dictionary form.
Step 2: Check each option.
Option 1 - dexterous: correct. Option 2 - acuminous: correct. Option 3 - ardous: incorrect; the correct spelling is arduous (includes the letter u). Option 4 - sagacious: correct.
Step 3: Confirm.
Arduous means demanding great effort; dropping the u gives the misspelled ardous, making option 3 the answer.
\[ \boxed{\text{ardous}} \]
