Choose the misspelt word in the sentence: Sheetal received an acheivement…

Concept

Spelling questions test whether a written word follows its standard dictionary letter sequence.

When a suffix is added, the established spelling of the base word is generally retained unless a standard spelling rule changes it.

Application

1. Identify the intended noun as the word formed from achieve plus the suffix -ment.

2. Retain the base spelling achieve when adding -ment.

3. The resulting standard spelling is achievement, whereas the sentence uses acheivement.

Contrast

• achievement: the standard noun formed from achieve and -ment.

• innovation: a standard noun referring to a new idea or method.

• creativity: a standard noun referring to the ability to produce original ideas.

• received: the standard past-tense form of receive.

Cross-check

Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries list the noun as achievement.

Result

Therefore, acheivement is the misspelt word in the sentence; its standard spelling is achievement.
