Answer the following question below and choose the option that best completes the gap(s) He started his career as an..........teacher

Analyze the question: This is a spelling question. You are asked to pick the correctly spelt word that fits the gap: "He started his career as an ........ teacher."

Explain the concept: The word means "providing extra help or support", as in an auxiliary teacher, auxiliary verb, or auxiliary staff. It comes from the Latin auxilium, meaning "help".

The correct spelling is a-u-x-i-l-i-a-r-y:

• aux (the start)
• il (one "l" only)
• i-a-r-y (ending in "-iary", not "-ary")

Step-by-step check of the options:

• A. auxilliary: has a double "l" (auxilliary), which is wrong.
• B. auxiluryy: has the wrong ending and a double "y", which is wrong.
• C. auxillary: has a double "l" and is missing the "i" before "ary", which is wrong.
• D. auxiliary: single "l", then "-iary", which is correct.

Answer: The correct sentence is "He started his career as an auxiliary teacher.

Tip: Break the word into chunks: aux-il-i-ary. Remember "one L, then I-A-R-Y". The word "auxiliary" has only one "l", just like "auxilium" (help) in Latin. Common words with tricky double letters, like "tomorrow" or "committee", can mislead you into adding extra letters here, so slow down and check.
