Question 3 of 1848

Identify which one of the following sentences contains a spelling error. Select `No Errors` if none of the sentences contains a spelling error.

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

The sentence that contains a spelling error is "To avoid bad breathe, one should always brush one's teeth before meeting an important person." This is a tricky spelling error
"breathe" should be "breath." "Breathe" isn't a typo in every sentence; it is a verb that means to inhale and exhale regularly. That doesn't make any sense in this sentence, though! We need a word that acts as a noun and means the air that you exhale. That word is "breath." The corrected sentence would read,
"To avoid bad breath, one should always brush one's teeth before meeting an important person."
