Concept

Spelling-error questions test whether a word's letter sequence matches its recognized root, prefix, and suffix pattern. Many English words are built from Latin/Greek combining forms (e.g. "-graphy" meaning "writing/recording", as in geography, photography, biography) and standard suffix rules (e.g. consonant+"y" -> "ies" for plurals, "-ible/-able" -> "-ibility/-ability" for the noun form). A misspelling typically arises from a dropped, added, or transposed letter that breaks one of these recognized patterns, most often in a longer or less frequently written word.

Application

1. Break each option into its root/suffix components and check the letter sequence against the recognized pattern.

2. "credible" becomes "credibility" by replacing the final "-le" with "-ility" -> c-r-e-d-i-b-i-l-i-t-y, matching the standard adjective-to-noun "-ibility" pattern.

3. "anomalies" = anomaly with "y" replaced by "ies" -> a-n-o-m-a-l-i-e-s, matching the standard consonant+y -> ies plural rule.

4. "meticulous" follows the standard "-iculous" adjectival pattern also seen in "ridiculous" -> m-e-t-i-c-u-l-o-u-s.

5. "bibliograhy" = "biblio-" + "-graphy" should give b-i-b-l-i-o-g-r-a-p-h-y; the option's letter sequence b-i-b-l-i-o-g-r-a-h-y is missing the "p" that the "-graphy" combining form requires.

Cross-check

Compare "-graphy" across related words that all keep the "p": geography, photography, biography, autobiography. Every one of them preserves "g-r-a-p-h-y". Restoring the missing letter in the flagged option gives "bibliography", which matches this family exactly, confirming the identified word is the one with the broken pattern; every other option already matches its expected pattern letter-for-letter.

Result

The word with the broken letter pattern is "bibliograhy" (correct spelling: "bibliography").
