"Hello, students! Today we are going to work on a spelling exercise. The question is about choosing the correct spelling in British English. Let's take a look at the options:
1. midle-sized
2. middle-sized
3. midde-sized
To determine the correct spelling for the first word, we have three options: midle-sized, middle-sized, and midde-sized. Let's break them down one by one and see which one makes sense.
The first option, 'midle-sized,' doesn't look quite right, does it? It seems to have a missing letter. When we see words like 'middle' in English, we usually have two 'd' letters together. So let's move on to our next option.
The second option, 'middle-sized,' looks much more promising. It follows the pattern we usually see in English spelling. The word 'middle' refers to something being in the center, so if we are talking about something that has an average size, 'middle-sized' makes sense. Let's consider this as a potential correct spelling for now.
Finally, we have the third option, 'midde-sized.' Although this option has two 'd' letters together like the correct one we considered earlier, it still looks a bit odd. Generally, when we have two consonant letters together, we try to avoid having another consonant in between them. Therefore, it's safe to eliminate this option from being correct.
Now let's move on to the second word:
1. eers
2. ears
3. earrs
At first glance, the first and third options don't seem to follow the typical English spelling patterns. The second option, 'ears,' corresponds to the body part that we use for hearing. It seems like a legitimate spelling, so let's consider it as the correct one.
Lastly, we have the third word:
1. neck
2. neckk
3. necke
The first option, 'neck,' is a common English word that refers to the part of our body connecting our head to our shoulders. It seems to be spelled correctly.
The second option, 'neckk,' once again, doesn't follow the standard English spelling patterns. When we look at words like 'necklace' or 'knee,' we don't see an extra 'k' added. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
Similarly, the third option, 'necke,' doesn't align with the usual spelling patterns either. We typically don't add an extra 'e' at the end of words like 'neck.'
In conclusion, the correct spellings in British English for the given words are:
1. middle-sized
2. ears
3. neck
I hope this explanation helps you understand the reasoning behind the correct spellings. Remember, practicing spelling is important, and paying attention to common patterns and rules will greatly improve your spelling skills. Good luck with your studies!"
