Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

Embarrassment

Solution :

The correct option is Embarrassment.


Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Root Word Analysis: The base verb is embarrass. A common spelling mistake with this word is omitting one of the repeated consonants. The root word contains double 'r' and double 's'.

2. Adding the Suffix: When forming the noun by attaching the suffix -ment, the spelling of the base word remains intact:
embarrass + ment = embarrassment

3. Evaluating the Given Options:
Embarassment – Incorrect (missing the second 'r').
Embarrasment – Incorrect (missing both the second 'r' and the second 's').
Embarrasement – Incorrect (contains an unnecessary 'e' and is missing the second 's').
Embarrassment – Correct (properly retains double 'r' and double 's').


Therefore, the correctly spelled word is Embarrassment.
