Select the word from the given options that is misspelled. If all the given words are spelled correctly select "No mistakes."
No mistakes
Conspicuous
Deficent
Diverse
Excessive
Deficent
This question tested your ability to spot an often easy to overlook error, a missing "i" verb. The reason this is easy to miss is purely visual, in the middle of a visually complex word like "deficient" it is almost natural to overlook a missing letter. It is important, when proofreading or having your spelling tested, to give words an extra look, to make sure that your eye hasn't naturally filled in a missing letter.
The rest of these adjectives are all spelled correctly.
