Which of the following spelling is correct?

Options

A

argument

B

argument

C

arguemant

D

arguemint

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

argument

Solution :

The correct answer is argument.


Let us break down the correct spelling and understand why the other options are incorrect:


1. argument: This is the correct spelling. When adding the suffix "-ment" to the verb "argue", the silent "e" at the end of "argue" is dropped, resulting in "argument".


2. arguemant and arguemint: These options incorrectly retain the silent "e" and use incorrect vowel endings ("-mant" and "-mint").
