English Spelling — Identify the misspelled word (choose the incorrect spelling; select 'All correct' if none). Words: A) Gentalman B) Criticise C) Valuable D) Continuous E) All correct

Introduction / Context:
Vowel swaps in common nouns are frequent distractors. Meanwhile, British vs. American variants (criticise/criticize) are both accepted depending on dialect. Your job is to locate the genuinely wrong form, not a dialectal variant.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Gentalman — suspect; should be “Gentleman.”
• Criticise — British standard (American: criticize).
• Valuable — correct.
• Continuous — correct.

Concept / Approach:
“Gentleman” spells the first syllable “gen-tle-,” not “gen-ta-.” The erroneous “Gentalman” replaces “le” with “al.” Evaluate the others for dialect: “criticise” with s is fine in British/Indian English.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Dictionary entries show “gentleman” only; no recognized spelling “gentalman.”

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• B: Acceptable in British English; not an error.
• C, D: Standard spellings.

Common Pitfalls:
Flagging correct British forms as wrong due to U.S. exposure. Exams in India commonly accept “criticise,” “realise,” etc.

Final Answer:
Gentalman
