    Answer: Accommodate

    The correct spelling is 'Accommodate' — with double 'c' and double 'm'.

  2. Which word is spelled INCORRECTLY?

    Answer: Recieve

    The correct spelling is 'Receive' (i before e except after c). 'Recieve' is incorrect.

  3. Identify the correctly spelled word:

    Answer: Grammar

    The correct spelling is 'Grammar' — with an 'a' in both the second and final syllables, ending in '-ar' not '-er'.

  4. Choose the word with the correct spelling:

    Answer: Occurrence

    The correct spelling is 'Occurrence' — with double 'c', double 'r', and ending in '-ence'.

  5. Which option shows the CORRECT word formed by adding the suffix '-tion' to 'educate'?

    Answer: Education

    When adding '-tion' to 'educate', the final 'e' is dropped: educat + ion = education.

  6. Choose the correctly spelled plural of 'leaf':

    Answer: Leaves

    Nouns ending in '-f' or '-fe' typically form plurals by changing 'f' to 'v' and adding '-es': leaf → leaves.
