Question

There are two sentences (S1) and (S2) based on commonly used word(s), which are highlighted. Read the two sentences carefully and mark the response that denotes the correct use of these words in each of the two sentences.
(S1) What is especially noticeable about the pair is that they always dress impeccably.
(S2) Lunch is served late in the office, specially on days when there is a board meeting.

A.

(S1) is right and (S2) is wrong

B.

(S1) is wrong and (S2) is right

C.

Both (S1) and (S2) are wrong

D.

Both (S1) and (S2) are right

Correct option is A


In (S1) "especially" means 'particularly' or 'notably', which is correctly used to emphasize that the noticeable thing about the pair is their impeccable dressing. In (S2) "specially" is used incorrectly; it should be "especially" because it implies 'particularly on days when there is a board meeting'. "Specially" means 'for a specific purpose', which is not the intended meaning here.
· Meanings:
· Especially: particularly; notably.
· Specially: for a specific purpose.
