Which word is correctly spelt: mischievious, mischevous, mischeivous, mischievous?
Correct answer C. mischievous
Explanation
"Mischievous" has three syllables and ends in "-vous", not "-vious". It keeps the "ie" from "mischief", giving m-i-s-c-h-i-e-v-o-u-s. Adding an extra "i" is a common mistake.
