Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Step 1: Understand the Directive The question asks to identify the word that is INCORRECTLY spelled among the four choices provided.
Step 2: Evaluate Each Word
Word 1: Lachrymose. We verify the spelling: L-A-C-H-R-Y-M-O-S-E. This is the correct dictionary spelling.
Word 2: Kaleidoscope. We verify the spelling: K-A-L-E-I-D-O-S-C-O-P-E. This is the correct dictionary spelling.
Word 3: Labyrinthine. We verify the spelling: L-A-B-Y-R-I-N-T-H-I-N-E. This is the correct dictionary spelling.
Word 4: Lackadaisikal. We verify the spelling against the dictionary. The standard English spelling is "Lackadaisical" (ending in -cal, not -kal).
Step 3: Final Conclusion Option 4 is the incorrectly spelled word because it incorrectly substitutes a "k" for the second "c".
