Question

Select the INCORRECTLY spelt word.

• A. Suspeciously
• B. Wearily
• C. Stealthily
• D. Recklessly

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Suspeciously

Suspiciously (Correct): The word is derived from "suspicion." The suffix used for adverbs like this is -iously. The "c" should be followed by an 'i', not an 'e'. Mnemonic: Remember "S-U-S-P-I-C-I-O-U-S-L-Y". Wearily (Correct): Derived from "weary" (tired). When adding "-ly", the 'y' changes to 'i'. Stealthily (Correct): Derived from "stealth." It means doing something in a cautious or secretive manner. Recklessly (Correct): Derived from "reckless." It means doing something without thinking about the consequences.
