Explanations:Spelling accuracy is a fundamental aspect of language proficiency, particularly in competitive exams where attention to detail is crucial. The task involves identifying misspelled words in a given set. In this case, the set of words provided is: 'laughter', 'pageant', 'frequnt', 'hanger', and 'campor'. To determine the number of misspelled words, each word must be carefully examined for any spelling errors.
Let's analyze each word in the set:
1. 'Laughter': This word is correctly spelled. It is a common word that refers to the sound of laughing. The spelling includes a double 't' and a double 'r', which are often remembered through the phrase "laugh and the whole world laughs with you, but cry and you cry alone."
2. 'Pageant': This word is also correctly spelled. It refers to a show or display, often involving elaborate costumes and performances. The spelling includes a double 'a' and a single 'g', which are typical in this word.
3. 'Frequnt': This word is misspelled. The correct spelling is 'frequent'. The error lies in the omission of the second 'u' and the second 'e'. The correct spelling includes a double 'u' and a double 'e', which can be remembered using the mnemonic "FREQUENT: Remember the double 'u' and 'e' in 'frequent'."
4. 'Hanger': This word is correctly spelled. It refers to a device for hanging clothes or other items. The spelling includes a single 'a' and a single 'g', which are typical in this word.
5. 'Campor': This word is misspelled. The correct spelling could be either 'camphor' or 'campfire', depending on the intended meaning. 'Camphor' is a white crystalline substance with a strong odor, used in medicine and perfumes, while 'campfire' refers to a fire built outdoors for warmth or cooking. The error lies in the incorrect spelling of either word. If the intended word was 'camphor', the correct spelling includes a double 'p' and a double 'o'. If the intended word was 'campfire', the correct spelling includes a single 'p' and a single 'o' followed by 'fire'.
Therefore, the number of misspelled words in the set is two: 'frequnt' and 'campor'. The correct answer is option C, which states that there are two misspelled words in the set.
