Example Question #1 : Adjectives Describing Quality, Quantity, And Variety
Select the word from the given options that is misspelled. If all the given words are spelled correctly select "No mistakes."
Excessive
Deficent
Conspicuous
Diverse
No mistakes
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.

Instantaneously
Urgently
Zelously
No mistakes
Wryly
Zelously
The correct spelling for the word "zealously" has an "a" after the "e." You could have known this by simply knowing the correct spelling, or realizing that this adverb would be based on the word "zeal," which includes an "a" after the "e." The rest of the options were correctly spelled adverbs.
