In the following question, a word has been written in four different ways out of which only one is correctly spelt. Select the correctly spelt word.

  1. A
    Pereceivee
  2. B
    Perceive
  3. C
    Perceeve
  4. D
    Percieve

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The correct spelling is Perceive (Option B).
It follows the classic English spelling rule: "I before E except after C" when the sound is a long "e" (/i:/). Since the vowel cluster follows the letter 'c', 'e' comes before 'i'. The word means to become aware or conscious of something through the senses.
