Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Evanescent
Meaning: tending to vanish; fleeting.
Evanescent is the correct spelling. Notice the ending "-escent."
Evanscente is incorrect because it inserts extra letters in the ending and does not match the correct "-escent" sequence.
Evanscant is incorrect because the ending "-cant" is not the correct suffix for this word.
Evansent is incorrect because it omits the "e" needed to form the correct "-escent" ending.
