Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Concept

When correcting a misspelling, identify the intended word from the sentence meaning, then verify the complete letter sequence. A replacement must be both conventionally spelled and grammatically suitable in context.

Application

The phrase ‘issue of ...’ requires a noun meaning lack of discipline. The standard noun is formed by adding the prefix ‘in-’ to ‘discipline’, giving ‘indiscipline’; it preserves the complete base spelling d-i-s-c-i-p-l-i-n-e.

Contrast

  • ‘asembly’ represents the gathering noun with only one s; the conventional word in the sentence is ‘assembly’.

  • ‘principle’ denotes a rule or basic idea; ‘principal’ is the school-head noun already used in the sentence.

  • ‘adressed’ represents the past-tense verb with one d after a; the conventional past form is ‘addressed’.

Result

Therefore, the misspelled word ‘indisipline’ is replaced by ‘indiscipline’.
