Concept:One of the given words is misspelled. The correct spelling uses the standard suffix "-ism" for forming nouns, but the word "criticism" has a special spelling pattern.
Explanation:The word "Critisism" is incorrect. The right spelling is "Criticism".
The error happens because the letter "c" comes before the "-ism" suffix in "criticism". There is no second "i" after "t".
"Criticism" means expressing disapproval based on perceived faults. Example: The film received harsh criticism from reviewers.
The other options are all spelled correctly:
- Optimism: hopefulness about the future.
- Pessimism: tendency to see the worst.
- Egotism: excessive self-importance.
Only option A has a spelling mistake. Therefore, "Critisism" is the misspelt word.
Answer:Option A: Critisism
