In how many ways can the letters in the word spoon be arranged?

The word “spoon” has 5 letters, with the letter o repeated twice. If all letters were different, there would be 5! = 120 arrangements; swapping the two o’s does not create a new arrangement, so divide by 2: 120 ÷ 2 = 60. The correct choice is 60.
