Question

From the given alternatives, select the word which cannot be formed using the letters of the given word "CHARACTERISTIC".

• A. Race
• B. Skate
• C. Car
• D. Earth

Hint:

To check if a word can be formed, verify each letter's availability and count in the source word.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Check letters in "CHARACTERISTIC"
- The word contains letters: C, H, A, R, A, C, T, E, R, I, S, T, I, C.
Step 2: Check if each option can be formed
- "Race": Uses R, A, C, E - all present in "CHARACTERISTIC".
- "Skate": Requires S, K, A, T, E. The letter "K" is not present in "CHARACTERISTIC".
- "Car": Uses C, A, R - all present.
- "Earth": Uses E, A, R, T, H - all present.
Thus, "Skate" cannot be formed because "K" is missing. Option (B) is correct.
