Find the correctly spelt word.
Answer: C
Correct answer: Paralleled
Parallel is the base word, and the rule for adding -ed is to leave the final l single, because the stress falls on the first syllable: PAR-al-lel → paralleled. British spelling doubles a final l only after a stressed vowel, as in compel → compelled.
The three wrong forms each mishandle one of the doubled letters: parallelled doubles the last l, parraleled doubles the r, and paraleled loses the double l that belongs in the middle.
