    Question

    Select the sentence in which a word is INCORRECTLY spelt.

    A.

    He hoped that he had won the prestigious award.

    B.

    I could never be as talented as him.

    C.

    His breathe smelled of garlic.

    D.

    A woman gasped in horror at the sight of him.

    Correct option is C
