    Question

    Select the sentence that contains a spelling error.

    A.

    Fermented apple juice is touted to have many health benefits though most are anecdotal and not supported by scientific facts.

    B.

    Intriguing as it is, the house was never sold because it was thought to be haunted.

    C.

    It is important for scientists to acknowledge their humanity and the implications of their inventions.

    D.

    There are many believes about ancient artefacts that some of them are patently not true.

    Correct option is D

    Option (d) contains a spelling error.
    Explanation:
    · The incorrect word "believes" should be "beliefs."
    · "Believes" is the verb form (third-person singular of "believe").
    · "Beliefs" is the correct noun form referring to ideas or opinions.
    Correct sentence:
    "There are many beliefs about ancient artefacts, but some of them are patently not true."
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · "Beliefs" (noun) = Opinions or convictions.
    · "Believes" (verb) = Third-person singular form of "believe."
    · Example:
    · She believes in destiny. (✔ Correct – verb)
    · Her beliefs about destiny are strong. (✔ Correct – noun)
    Thus, option (d) contains the spelling error.
