Question

choose the word that is spelled correctly in each group of words.
5 a. arkeology
b. archaology
c. arceology
d. archeology

Explanation:

To determine the correct spelling of the word related to the study of human history through excavation, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "arkeology" is incorrect (missing "ch" and misspelled).
• Option b: "archaology" is incorrect (missing an "e" in the root; the correct root is "archae-").
• Option c: "arceology" is incorrect (misspelled root, no "ch").
• Option d: "archeology" (note: while "archaeology" is the more formal British English spelling, "archeology" is an accepted variant in American English for the same term, representing the study of ancient human cultures via artifacts/ruins).

Answer:

d. archeology
