Question

Which sentence in the passage contains a spelling error? She had no food, no water, no tent. She watched helplessly as the last rays of the sun disapeared beneath the tops of the trees. The darkness that settled over the woods was suffocating. Never in her life had she known a darkness like this. It was alive, and she was sure it was reaching through the branches of the trees to swallow her. She was going to die here. She put her head in her hands and cried.

Answer 1

She watched helplessly as the last days of the sun disapeared beneath the tops of the trees. Disappeared is spelled incorrectly

Answer 2

The correct answer is the second sentence "She watched helplessly as the last rays of the sun disapeared beneath the tops of the trees"

Explanation:

In language, the word "spelling" refers to the correct way of writing a word, especially in relation to the letters that are part of a word and the order in which these should be placed. This means a spelling error occurs when a word has not been written correctly either because all the letters that are part of it have not been included, extra letters have been added or the correct letters are not placed in the correct order. This occurs in the second sentence of the passage or "She watched helplessly as the last rays of the sun disapeared beneath the tops of the trees" because the word "disapeared" should be spelled as "disappeared", which means in the original sentence a "p" has been omitted and therefore there is a spelling error in this sentence.
