Question

choosing the correct spelling
-ess = \female\
-less = \without\
-ous = \full of\
based on the list of suffixes, what is the correct spelling of the word that means \funny\?
o humorus
o humoress
o humorous
o humorless

Explanation:

The suffix -ous means "full of". "Humorous" means full of humor, i.e., funny. "Humorless" means without humor. "Humoress" is an incorrect form as -ess is for female and not applicable here. "Humorus" is a mis - spelling.

Answer:

humorous
