(B) paradigm

(C) piccadillo

(D) tertiery

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

'Paradigm' (B) is correctly spelled. The standard spellings of the others are 'officious', 'peccadillo' and 'tertiary'. Since only (B) is strictly correct but every option pairs two words, we selected (B) and (C), where 'piccadillo' is the closest to its standard form.

Note: Strictly, only (B) is spelled correctly; no option offers '(B) only', so we chose the pair containing (B) with the least-distorted second word.
