Question

Choose the correct spelling from the options given below:

• A. Accomodation
• B. Accommedation
• C. Accommodation
• D. Accomadation

Hint:

When in doubt with tricky spellings, remember: “Accommodation” has two c’s and two m’s.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The correct spelling of the word is “Accommodation” — with double 'c' and double 'm'.
It derives from the Latin word “accommodare” meaning “to make fit” or “adapt.”
This spelling pattern is often confused because in pronunciation the repeated consonants are not strongly emphasized.
Option (a) “Accomodation” is incorrect because it has only one ‘m’ instead of two.
Option (b) “Accommedation” is wrong because of the extra ‘e’ in place of ‘o’ after the double ‘m’.
Option (d) “Accomadation” is incorrect because the second vowel should be ‘o’, not ‘a’.
The correct form “Accommodation” is standard in both British and American English and is used to mean lodging, arrangement, or adjustment.
Example: “We booked our accommodation in advance for the holiday.”
