  1. Choose the CORRECTLY spelled word:

    Answer: Entrepreneur

    The correct spelling is 'Entrepreneur' — of French origin, with 'entre-pre-neur' pattern.

  2. Which option shows the correct noun form of the verb 'describe'?

    Answer: Description

    The correct noun form is 'Description' — the verb 'describe' changes to the noun by replacing '-be' with '-ption'.

  3. Identify the word with INCORRECT spelling:

    Answer: Priviledge

    The correct spelling is 'Privilege' — there is no 'd': p-r-i-v-i-l-e-g-e.

  4. Select the correctly spelled word:

    Answer: Harassment

    The correct spelling is 'Harassment' — with single 'r' and double 's': har-ass-ment.

  5. Choose the correct plural form of 'phenomenon':

    Answer: Phenomena

    Phenomenon is a Greek-origin word. Its correct plural is 'phenomena' (not 'phenomenons').

  6. Which word is formed correctly using the suffix '-able'?

    Answer: Noticeable

    'Notice' ends in '-ce'. The 'e' is kept before '-able' to preserve the soft 'c' sound: notice + able = noticeable.
