Identify the correct spelt word.

  • A.Venirable
  • B.Venerable
  • C.Venerabel
  • D.Venarable

Answer: B

The correctly spelt word is Venerable.

Venerable, meaning worthy of great respect because of age or character, comes from the Latin venerari, to revere, and is spelt v-e-n-e-r-a-b-l-e, like the verb venerate.

Venirable changes the second vowel to i. Venerabel reverses the ending to -bel, which English does not use for this suffix. Venarable changes the second e to a. Remembering venerate fixes the first part, and the usual -able fixes the ending.
