Question

Find the correctly spelled word.

• A. Reannaisance
• B. Renaissance
• C. Rennaissance
• D. Renaisance

Hint:

Remember: double s comes after ai, not a double n.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A quick way to remember this word is to break it into three small parts: Re plus nai plus ssance.

• Re stays the same in all options, so it does not help us choose.
• The middle part must be nai, not anna or a jumbled order, so option 1 goes out.
• The ending must have double s before ance, so Renaisance with a single s is wrong, ruling out option 4.
• Doubling the wrong letter, like nn in option 3, is a common trap. The double letter in this word is ss, not nn.

Putting the correct pieces together gives Renaissance, option 2.
