Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

foreword.

Solution :

The correct answer is foreword.


Explanation:

A foreword is a short introductory essay or section found at the beginning of a book, typically written by someone other than the author.


Breakdown of the word structure:

fore-: A prefix meaning "before" or "front" (as in forehead, foresee, or foretaste).

word: Refers to the written text or speech.


Therefore, a "foreword" literally means the "words before" the main content of the book.


Incorrect Options:

foreward / forworde: These are incorrect spellings.

forward: Although "forward" is a correct English word (meaning moving ahead or onward), in the context of book literature, the introductory note is spelled foreword.
