From the given options, choose the word that CAN be formed using all letters only from the word “IMMEDIATELY” (each letter can be used at most as many times as it appears in the source): Source word: IMMEDIATELY

Introduction / Context:
Word-formation puzzles check whether a candidate word can be constructed using the letters of a given source word, obeying frequency limits. You may use a letter only as many times as it occurs in the source. The task is to verify letter-by-letter availability, not merely the presence of all distinct letters.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Source: IMMEDIATELY → letters: i, m, m, e, d, i, a, t, e, l, y.
• Options to test: DIALECT, LIMITED, DIAMETER, DICTATE.
• Each letter’s multiplicity matters (e.g., two “m”s are available; only one “l” is available, etc.).

Concept / Approach:
Tally the frequency of each letter in the source; then, for each option, check whether every letter and its required count appear in the source pool. If any letter is missing or needed more times than available, that option is invalid.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Source counts: a(1), d(1), e(2), i(2), l(1), m(2), t(1), y(1); plus letters present once: (others 0).DIALECT requires c (not present) → invalid.LIMITED requires letters l, i, m, i, t, e, d → all present with sufficient counts (l1, i2, m1≤2, t1, e1≤2, d1).DIAMETER requires r (absent) → invalid.DICTATE requires c (absent) → invalid.Therefore, only LIMITED is formable.

Verification / Alternative check:
Physically cross out letters of IMMEDIATELY while spelling LIMITED to confirm counts never go negative.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• DIALECT: needs “c,” which IMMEDIATELY does not contain.
• DIAMETER: needs “r,” not in IMMEDIATELY.
• DICTATE: needs “c,” not in IMMEDIATELY.
• None of these: incorrect because LIMITED is valid.

Common Pitfalls:
Ignoring multiplicity constraints (e.g., using two “l”s when only one exists) or overlooking a missing consonant like “c” or “r.”

Final Answer:
LIMITED
