Let's solve this spelling worksheet step by step. The goal is to identify the correct spelling of each word, focusing on words ending in -tion or -sion, which are common in English and often tricky due to silent letters and similar-sounding syllables.
---
- Words ending in -tion or -sion usually have a silent "t" or "c" depending on the root.
- Common patterns:
- -tion: Often comes from Latin roots (e.g., *protection*, *election*).
- -sion: Comes from Latin roots like *-sio* (e.g., *vision*, *decision*).
- Watch for double consonants (like ss, ct, x) and correct letter combinations.
Now, let’s go through each question:
---
✔ Correct: C. protection
> "Protection" is the correct spelling.
---
✔ Correct: C. detection
> "Detection" means discovering something. The correct spelling has 'c' before 't'.
---
✔ Correct: A. invasion
> "Invasion" is correct — note the 'v' and 's', not 'z'.
---
✔ Correct: D. construction
> "Construction" — double 'c', then 't', 'r', 'u', etc.
---
✔ Correct: D. inflation
> "Inflation" — ends with -ation, not -shon or -tin.
---
✔ Correct: A. vacation
> Wait — both A and D say "vacation"? Let’s check:
> Actually, A and D are the same. But only one can be correct.
> Looking again:
> A. vacation
> B. vacatin
> C. vacatione
> D. vacation
> So A and D are identical. That might be a typo, but "vacation" is correct. So answer is A or D — likely A (first one).
But since they're the same, we’ll go with A. vacation as correct.
✔ Answer: A
---
✔ Correct: D. eruption
> "Eruption" — starts with 'e', not 'i', and ends with -tion.
---
✔ Correct: B. profession
> "Profession" — double 's', not 'f' or 'z'.
---
✔ Correct: A. explosion
> "Explosion" — no extra letters. Correct spelling.
---
✔ Correct: C. election
> "Election" — correct spelling. Not "elecshon" or "electione".
---
✔ Correct: C. inspection
> "Inspection" — double 'p', 'c', 't', 'i', 'o', 'n'.
---
✔ Correct: C. infection
> "Infection" — correct. Note: "infliction" is a real word, but not the intended one here.
---
✔ Correct: C. illusion
> "Illusion" — double 'l', then 'u', 's', 'i', 'o', 'n'.
---
✔ Correct: A. exhaustion
> "Exhaustion" — correct spelling. Double 'h'? No — it's 'x', 'h', 'a', 'u', 's', 't', 'i', 'o', 'n'.
---
✔ Correct: A. admission
> "Admission" — double 'm', then 'i', 's', 's', 'i', 'o', 'n'.
---
✔ Correct: A. expression
> "Expression" — correct spelling. Starts with 'ex', not 'ix'.
---
✔ Correct: D. frustration
> "Frustration" — ends with -ation, not -atin or -tione.
---
✔ Correct: B. suggestion
> "Suggestion" — correct spelling. No 'h' after 's'.
---
✔ Correct: B. location
> "Location" — correct spelling. Not 'locaetion' or 'lokation'.
---
✔ Correct: C. tension
> "Tension" — correct. Not 'tenzion' or 'tinsion'.
