select the word that is spelt CORRECTLY.
Which of the following spelling is correct?
Correct Answer :
Consensus.
Solution :
The correct option is consensus (or Consensus. as provided in the option choice).
Explanation:
The word consensus means a general agreement among a group of people.
It is derived from the Latin word consensio (agreement), which comes from consentire (to feel together). Notice the spelling pattern:
- It starts with con-
- Followed by -sen- (with an 's', not a 'c')
- Followed by -sus (with an 's', not a 'c')
Common misspellings often incorrectly replace the first 's' with a 'c' (e.g., "concensus" or "consencus"). Therefore, the correctly spelt word is consensus.
