Question

Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? Nothing can be more delightful than a late-night swim in the reservoir.

TheEntryPass · Accepted Answer

C Rationale: The word "then" is not spelled correctly in the context of the sentence, as it should be "than" to properly convey the intended comparison.

"Than" is used for comparisons, while "then" refers to time or sequence. In the sentence, "Nothing can be more delightful than a late-night swim in the reservoir," a comparison is being made, meaning "than" is the appropriate choice. The other words—"Nothing," "delightful," and "reservoir"—are correctly spelled and function appropriately within the given context, aligning with standard English usage.
