Find the wrongly spelt word. If all four are correctly spelt, choose “All correct”.
Answer: D
Correct answer: Beleive
Beleive is the misspelling. The correct form is believe, which follows the rule i before e except after c. Ceiling, the fourth option, is the other half of the same rule and is correctly spelt: the ei follows a c. The two words together make the rule easy to hold - believe with no c takes ie, ceiling with a c takes ei. The rule has many exceptions, and the common ones are worth listing: foreign, neighbour, weight, height, their, seize, weird, leisure, either, neither, protein, caffeine and species. Parallel is correctly spelt too and repays notice: one r and two ls in the middle, then a single l at the end - and the double l sits in the middle just as two parallel lines would.
