Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: Hypocrisy

Why this is correct: The word is formed from the root of "hypocrite." The correct letter sequence is h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y.

  • Letter sequence tip: remember the letters in order — h y p o c r i s y.

  • Memory aid: link to "hypocrite" and replace the ending "-ite" with "-isy" to form "hypocrisy."

  • Common errors to avoid: using an "e" before the "s" ("-esy"), omitting the "y" after the initial "h", or ending with "-acy" instead of "-isy."
