Spelling – Identify the one misspelled word among options A–D, or choose “All correct” if every option is correctly spelled. A) Irritate B) Turmoil C) Ignorent D) Terrible

Introduction / Context:
The focus here is on confused vowel endings “-ant/-ent”. Many English adjectives end with one of these, and choosing the wrong one is a classic exam trap. Only one word in the list is misspelled.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Options: Irritate, Turmoil, Ignorant (presented as “Ignorent”), Terrible.
• Target confusion: ignorant ends with “-ant”.

Concept / Approach:
Use family patterns: “ignorance” (noun) → “ignorant” (adjective). The base keeps “a” before “n”. Meanwhile, “different”/“dependent” are “-ent”; do not generalize across families. “Turmoil” and “terrible” have distinct endings that are not in the ant/ent family.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Transform: ignorant → ignorance (keeps “a”); if the adjective were “-ent”, the noun would likely be “-ence”. The real pair is ignorant/ignorance, confirming “-ant”.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Irritate: Correct.
• Turmoil: Correct.
• Terrible: Correct.

Common Pitfalls:
Over-applying the “-ent/-ence” pattern from words like “different/difference”. Learn frequent families individually.

Final Answer:
Ignorent
