Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: 'abundent' is wrongly spelled; the correct spelling is abundant.
Explanation: 'abundant' is spelled a-b-u-n-d-a-n-t. The form 'abundent' incorrectly uses an 'e' instead of the second 'a' in the '-ant' ending.
accomplish — correctly spelled. Tip: it has two consecutive 'c' letters (a-c-c-o-m-p-l-i-s-h).
arrogant — correctly spelled. Tip: it has two 'r' letters at the start (a-r-r-o-g-a-n-t).
awkward — correctly spelled. Tip: notice the 'wk' consonant cluster (a-w-k-w-a-r-d).
Quick strategy: when unsure about an ending like '-ant' vs '-ent', try sounding the word and compare common derivations (here 'abundant' uses the '-ant' ending).
