Let’s go through each pair of words and pick the one that is spelled correctly.
1.
after vs
aftur
→ “After” is correct. “Aftur” is not a real word.
2.
agin vs
again
→ “Again” is correct. “Agin” is missing the second ‘a’.
3.
always vs
alwayz
→ “Always” is correct. We don’t use ‘z’ at the end here — it’s always with an ‘s’.
4.
anamal vs
animal
→ “Animal” is correct. “Anamal” has an extra ‘a’ in the middle.
5.
another vs
anothur
→ “Another” is correct. “Anothur” swaps the ‘e’ for a ‘u’ — wrong!
6.
becuz vs
because
→ “Because” is correct. “Becuz” is slang or texting style, not proper spelling.
7.
befour vs
before
→ “Before” is correct. “Befour” sounds like “be four” — not right.
8.
bright vs
brit
→ “Bright” is correct. “Brit” is short for British or a name — not the same word.
9.
count vs
cownt
→ “Count” is correct. “Cownt” adds a ‘w’ that doesn’t belong.
10.
eigt vs
eight
→ “Eight” is correct. “Eigt” is missing the ‘h’ — remember: “ei
ght”.
Now let’s list the correct choices:
1. after
2. again
3. always
4. animal
5. another
6. because
7. before
8. bright
9. count
10. eight

4. animal
5. another
6. because
7. before
8. bright
