Answer

Correct Answer: LIMITED

Explanation

Introduction / Context:Find the single formable option under strict letter-count rules.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Source: IMMEDIATELY ⇒ letters I,M×2,M? (total M×2), E×2, D, A, T, L, Y.
  • No letter C or R.

Concept / Approach:Eliminate options requiring letters not present; then check counts for the remaining candidate.

Step-by-Step Solution:“LIMITED”: L,I,M,I,T,E,D ⇒ all present; counts respected.“DIALECT” requires C (absent).“DIAMETER” requires R (absent).“DICTATE” requires C (absent).

Verification / Alternative check:Re-confirm the presence of two I’s and at least one each of L,M,T,E,D in the source; satisfied.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They depend on letters (C or R) not found in the source.

Common Pitfalls:Overlooking missing consonants when scanning a long source word.
