Question

Ms. Runden insisted that the two packages arrived ______________. Which word is correctly spelled and will BEST complete this sentence? A) separately. B) separatly. C) separetely. D) seperately.

Answer 1

The only word within the examples provided that is correctly spelled is option A “separately”. It is written with 2 letters “a” and before the “ly”, the vowel “e” should be included.  

Option B) is incorrect because even though it has 2 letters “a”, it does not include the vowel “e” after “t”. And options C and D are incorrect as they do not include 2 letters “a”.

So the correct spelling for the word is “Separately”.

Answer 2
