Spelling — Pick the correctly spelled word (common confusables with foreign-origin patterns; English spelling for exams).

Given data

• Options: Foreign; Foreine; Fariegn; Forein
• Task: Choose the correct spelling

Concept/Approach‘‘Foreign’’ derives from Latin/Old French and keeps the ‘‘-eign’’ letter cluster (as in ‘‘sovereign’’), pronounced /ˈfɔːr.ən/ with a silent ‘‘g’’.

Step-by-step reasoningForeign — correct spelling with ‘‘-eign’’.‘‘Foreine’’ — wrong vowel order and extra ‘‘e’’.‘‘Fariegn’’ — wrong vowel placement and sequence.‘‘Forein’’ — common misspelling reversing the ‘‘ei’’/‘‘ie’’ pattern; missing the ‘‘g’’ in ‘‘-eign’’.

Verification/AlternativeDictionaries uniformly list the accepted form as ‘‘foreign’’.

Common pitfallsApplying ‘‘i before e except after c’’ incorrectly; this word is an exception and uses ‘‘-eign’’.

Final AnswerThe correct spelling is Foreign.
