journey

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

screpe

screpe

Solution :

The correct option is screpe.

Let us analyze the spelling and meaning of each option to identify the incorrectly spelled word:
1. whisper: This word is spelled correctly. It means to speak very softly using one's breath rather than one's vocal cords.
2. ceiling: This word is spelled correctly. It refers to the upper interior surface of a room. It correctly follows the common English spelling rule "i before e, except after c".
3. screpe: This word is incorrectly spelled. The intended English word is likely scrape (meaning to rub a sharp or rough object against a surface) or crepe (a type of thin pancake or crinkled cloth). There is no standard English word spelled "screpe".
4. journey: This word is spelled correctly. It refers to the act of traveling from one place to another.

Therefore, screpe is the incorrectly spelled word.
