SPELLING — Identify the misspelled word among A–D. If all four are correctly spelled, choose E (All correct). Words: A) Amature B) Manual C) Nephew D) Athletic

Introduction / Context:
This spelling question asks you to spot the single misspelled word from a small set of commonly tested vocabulary. Such items check familiarity with standard English orthography and frequent exam traps.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Four candidate words are presented and only one is intended to be incorrect.
• Standard modern English spellings are expected.
• No specialized American vs British variant affects correctness here.

Concept / Approach:
The word “amateur” (a person who engages in something for pleasure, not as a profession) is often misspelled. The incorrect form “Amature” drops the internal sequence “eu.” The other words—“Manual,” “Nephew,” and “Athletic”—are all correctly spelled common words.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Check “Amature”: dictionary form is “amateur,” spelled a-m-a-t-e-u-r.2) Check “Manual”: correct; refers to a handbook or done by hand.3) Check “Nephew”: correct; family relation term, n-e-p-h-e-w.4) Check “Athletic”: correct; relating to athletes or athletics.

Verification / Alternative check:
Substitute the suspected word with its correct spelling: “amateur.” Only A deviates from the recognized standard, confirming it as the misspelling.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
B “Manual”: standard spelling.C “Nephew”: standard spelling.D “Athletic”: standard spelling.E “All correct”: not true because A is incorrect.

Common Pitfalls:
Many test-takers misremember the vowel sequence in “amateur,” writing “amature” or “amatuer.” Remember the ending “-teur” borrowed from French.

Final Answer:
Amature → correct spelling is “amateur”
