Question 1: Which of the following words is spelled correctly?

'Necessary' is spelled with one 'c' and two 's' letters: n-e-c-e-s-s-a-r-y.
Question 3: Select the correctly spelled word from the options below:
- accomodate

Question 4: Which of the following is the correct spelling?
- occured
- ocurred

'Occurred' doubles the final 'r' before adding '-ed' because the stress falls on the last syllable of the base verb.

'Separate' is spelled s-e-p-a-r-a-t-e, with an 'a' in the middle — not an 'e'.
