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."
