Question

biblio = \book\
circum- = \around\
crypto = \hidden\
graph = \written\
hemi- = \half\
scribe = \write\
sphere = \ball\
which word is spelled incorrectly?
hemisphere
bibliography
cercumscribe
cryptograph

Explanation:

1. Analyze "hemisphere": "hemi-" (half) + "sphere" (ball) is correctly spelled.
2. Analyze "bibliography": "biblio-" (book) + "graphy" (related to writing about) is correctly spelled.
3. Analyze "cercumscribe": The prefix should be "circum-" (around), not "cercum-". The correct spelling is "circumscribe" (around + write).
4. Analyze "cryptograph": "crypto-" (hidden) + "graph" (written) is correctly spelled.

Answer:

cercumscribe
