    Question

    Some words in the following sentence have been highlighted and given as options. Select the option that contains a spelling error.
    He is an audacious entrepreneur who started his own business with the bear minimum.

    A.

    business

    B.

    audacious

    C.

    entrepreneur

    D.

    bear

    Correct option is D

    Option (d) is incorrectly spelt in the given context.
    Correct spelling is: “bare” – meaning minimal or only just sufficient. (Hindi: न्यूनतम/अत्यावश्यक)
    Example: He survived the journey with the bare minimum of supplies.

    Explanation:
    In the sentence: "...with the bear minimum", the word "bear" is incorrect. The correct expression is "bare minimum," which means the least amount required to achieve something.

    "Bear" – (verb/noun): To carry, support or the animal (भालू / सहनकरना), which doesn't fit contextually.

    Meanings of all the given options:
    · (a) Business – Engaging in trade or commerce (व्यापार)
    · (b) Audacious – Bold or daring, often recklessly so (निडर)
    · (c) Entrepreneur – A person who organizes and manages a business (उद्यमी)
    · (d) Bear – Large mammal / to carry or endure something (contextually incorrect)
