Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Answer: Commission is the correct spelling.

Why: The word is formed from the prefix com + the root mission. That results in two m's and two s's: commission.

  • Commision — incorrect because it has only one s (should be "commission").

  • Cummission — incorrect because it uses "u" instead of "o"; the correct vowel is "o" as in "commission".

  • Comission — incorrect because it is missing one m (should have two m's).

Tip: Remember com + mission to recall the double m and double s in "commission".
