Question 10 • 2025/26 IGC-English I - Prescriptive

In which sentence is there an incorrect spelling?

Answer
A
Lin used a knife to pare the apple.
B
He is the missing air to the throne.
C
The pirates buried their stolen loot.
D
She has a new beau named Randall.

Explanation

In choice B, “air” is incorrectly spelled; the sentence should say “He is the missing heir to the throne.” An heir is someone entitled to inherit a title or property, while air is the invisible mixture of gases we breathe. The other sentences use “pare,” “loot,” and “beau” correctly.
