In the following sentence, four words have been highlighted which may be misspelt or inappropriate in their usage. Mark the erroneous word as the answer and if all the words are correct in their spellings and usage, then choose ‘All are correct’ as the answer.

The newly appointed gazzette officer struggled to adapt to the demanding workload during his initial probation period.

Correct option is D

The incorrect spelling is: gazzette

Correct spelling: gazetted

Meanings (In English): Published in an official journal (gazette); holding a post mentioned in an official gazette.

Meanings (In Hindi): राजपत्रित

Example: Passing the civil service exam allows you to become a gazetted officer.

Contextual explanation: The word "gazzette" is misspelled. First, the noun "gazette" contains a single 'z' and a double 't' ("gazette"). Second, to modify the noun "officer", the word must be an adjective. The appropriate term is "gazetted", which means an officer whose appointment is published in the official government gazette. Thus, "gazzette" should be corrected to "gazetted".
