Discussion
In the given sentence, four words have been underlined and the underlined words are given as options. Select the option that contains a spelling error.
The berth of a young child is usually welcomed with a lot of happiness.
Answer: A
The spelling error is in berth.
A 'berth' is a sleeping place on a train or ship. The sentence needs 'birth', as in the birth of a child.
'Young', 'welcomed' and 'happiness' are correct.
'Berth' and 'birth' are homophones. A berth is a bunk or a place for a ship to dock, and birth is the act of being born. The sentence is about the arrival of a young child, so the correct spelling is 'birth'.
