Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

complement

complement

Solution :

To identify the word that is wrongly spelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence, let us analyze the highlighted words:
1. complement: This word means something that completes or brings to perfection (e.g., "The red shoes are a perfect complement to the dress"). However, in the context of receiving praise or admiration for her artistic skills, the correct word is compliment, which means a polite expression of praise or admiration.
2. artistic: This word is correctly spelt and appropriate, as it describes her creative or aesthetic skills.
3. fuelled: This word is correctly spelt (alternative spelling: fueled) and appropriate, meaning energized or stimulated.
4. recognition: This word is correctly spelt and appropriate, meaning appreciation or acknowledgment of her talent.

Therefore, the word complement is inappropriate in this context and should be replaced with compliment.

Hence, the correct option is complement.
