Question

Identify the segment that contains an INCORRECTLY spelt word.

A.

someone who is knowledgeable but is more inclined

B.

The management is not perturbed about appointing

C.

towards filling the position with a person

D.

who will be obsequous and will dance to their tunes

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.
The word “obsequous” is incorrectly spelt.
Correct spelling is: “obsequious” – excessively obedient or attentive (अति आज्ञाकारी)।
Part of Speech: Adjective
Example: The manager surrounded himself with obsequious staff who never questioned him.
Grammatical rule used: In spelling-based spotting errors, especially with Latin-derived adjectives like "obsequious," be careful with suffixes like "-ious," not "-ous" alone.
Information Booster: “Obsequious” is often used in a negative sense to describe people who flatter or obey to gain favor.
