• B. compliminted
• C. complemented
• D. complieminted

Answer 1

Answer:

C. complemented

• The correct spelling is Complemented. Sentence: "Rahul's personality is complemented by his confident looks." Meaning: In this context, it means that his looks and personality go well together or complete each other. Detailed Explanation This question belongs to the English Language subject, specifically the Spelling Test or Confusing Words (Homophones) section. The most common trap in English exams is the confusion between Complement and Compliment. They sound the same but have very different meanings: 1. Complement (with an 'e') Meaning: Something that completes or brings to perfection. Memory Trick: Think of the word Complete (both have an 'e'). Example: "The red wine complemented the steak." 2. Compliment (with an 'i') Meaning: A polite expression of praise or admiration. Memory Trick: When I give a compliment, it starts with an I. Example: "She gave him a compliment on his new haircut."
