Question

Choose the correct spelling from the options given below:

• A. Interrogation
• B. Interogation
• C. Interagation
• D. Interogetion

Hint:

Remember the base verb “interrogate” — keep both ‘r’s when forming “interrogation.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct spelling is “Interrogation” — with double ‘r’ and ending in -gation.
It comes from the Latin “interrogatio,” meaning “a questioning” or “to ask.”
Option (b) “Interogation” is incorrect because it has only one ‘r’ instead of two, breaking the root word “interrogate.”
Option (c) “Interagation” is wrong because of the insertion of an unnecessary ‘a’ after ‘r’, which does not exist in the standard spelling.
Option (d) “Interogetion” is incorrect due to both the single ‘r’ and the wrong vowel sequence in the last syllable.
The word “Interrogation” is used to describe a formal or intensive questioning, especially by authorities.
Example: “The suspect was subjected to a long interrogation by the police.”
