Choose the correct spelling of the word.

Solution: The correct spelling is "relinquish."

Meaning: "Relinquish" means to voluntarily give up, release, or cease to claim something.

Example: She relinquished control of the family investments to her son.

Why the other spellings are incorrect:

• "Relinquise" is incorrect because it replaces the final "sh" with "se." The correct ending is "-quish."

• "Relanquish" is incorrect because it uses "lan" instead of "lin" (the correct sequence is "relin-").

• "Relanquise" combines both errors: the wrong vowel sequence ("lan" vs "lin") and the wrong ending ("-quise" vs "-quish").

Tip: Pronounce the word as /rɪˈlɪŋkwɪʃ/ and remember the internal "lin" followed by the "quish" ending.
