Question

Which one of the following is an incorrectly spelled word?

• A. assassination
• B. multidisciplinery
• C. linguistic
• D. refurbished

Hint:

Pay close attention to suffixes like ``-ary'' and ``-ery'' as they are common targets for spelling tests.
Most academic adjectives related to fields of study use the ``-ary'' spelling pattern.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Check each option against its standard spelling.
We compare every word to its accepted dictionary form.
Step 2: Analyse option (2).
"Multidisciplinery" is incorrect; the correct spelling is "multidisciplinary" (ending in -ary, not -inery). This is a common error due to the word's length.
Step 3: Verify remaining options.
"Assassination", "linguistic", and "refurbished" are all correctly spelled. Option (2) is the misspelled word.
\[ \boxed{\text{multidisciplinery}} \]
