Question
In each of the questions below four words are
highlighted in the sentences. One of these four words printed in bold may be either wrongly spelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence. Find out the word which is wrongly spelt or inappropriate, if any. If all the words printed in bold are correctly spelt and also appropriate in the context of the sentence, mark option ‘All are correct’ as your answer. The sudden exceedance of authority by the senior official, despite repeated internal warnings, led to widespread criticisme and raised serious questions about institutional accountability.Solution
In this sentence, the incorrect word is “criticisme.” The correct spelling is “criticism,” which means the expression of disapproval or evaluation of faults. The form “criticisme” is a misspelling and does not exist in standard English usage. The word “exceedance” is correctly spelt and contextually appropriate; it refers to the act of exceeding a limit or authority. The words “internal” and “institutional” are also correctly used. Hence, option (c) contains the error.
