- 🔴
NO
8.

- "viluperate" –
✘ Incorrect. The correct spelling is
"vilipend" or more commonly
"vilify", but "viluperate" is not a real word.
- Likely intended:
"vilify" (to speak ill of), but "viluperate" is a misspelling.
- 🔴
NO

10.

---
Now, rewrite the misspelled words below:
The misspelled words are:
-
denegrate →
degrade
-
eclesiastic →
ecclesiastic
-
viluperate →
vilify (or possibly
vilipend, but
vilify is more common)
> Note: "viluperate" is not a standard English word. The closest correct form is
"vilify" (to speak badly about someone). "Vilipend" is archaic and rare. Given context,
"vilify" is likely the intended word.
