Select the option that lists all the INCORRECTLY spelt words in the following passage. The intermittant variances in readings were linked to extranious environmental influences rather than inherent fault lines in the system. Experts proposed recalibraeting the devices and reassessing the experimental parametres. Although the findings were rigorously documented, the final assessment was deemed insufficiently decisive for immediate implementation.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
English spelling follows established word forms recorded in standard dictionaries. For an “all incorrectly spelt words” question, the selected list must include every nonstandard form in the passage and exclude every correctly spelt word.
Application
Compare “intermittant” with the standard spelling “intermittent”.
Compare “extranious” with the standard spelling “extraneous”.
Compare “recalibraeting” with the standard spelling “recalibrating”.
Compare “parametres” with the standard spelling “parameters”.
Cross-check and contrast
Passage form | Standard form |
|---|---|
intermittant | intermittent |
extranious | extraneous |
recalibraeting | recalibrating |
parametres | parameters |
“recalibraeting, extranious, parametres, intermittent” contains the standard form “intermittent” in place of the passage form “intermittant”.
“recalibraeting, parametres, decisive, influences” includes the standard words “decisive” and “influences” and omits two nonstandard passage forms.
“variances, parametres, implementation, fault lines” includes standard passage words or a standard phrase and omits three nonstandard forms.
Result
The complete required list is “recalibraeting, extranious, intermittant, parametres”.
