Correct Answer: a)

Explanation:

Detailed Explanation:

The correctly spelt word is a) impassive.

  • Spelling Breakdown: The word is spelled i-m-p-a-s-s-i-v-e.
  • Etymology & Formation: Formed from the negative prefix im- (not) + passive (from Latin passivus, derived from pati meaning to suffer or feel). Notice the double ‘s’ (ss) and ending in -ive.
  • Meaning: Not feeling or showing emotion; calm, serene, unmoved, or expressionless.
  • Analysis of Misspellings:
    • impasive: Missing one ‘s’.
    • impasseve / impaseve: Erroneous vowel ‘e’ instead of ‘i’ in the suffix -ive.

Hence, Option a) impassive is correctly spelt.

विस्तृत व्याख्या:

सही वर्तनी वाला शब्द a) impassive है।

  • वर्तनी विश्लेषण: सही वर्तनी i-m-p-a-s-s-i-v-e है।
  • शब्द रचना: नकारात्मक उपसर्ग im- (नहीं) + passive (संवेदनशील) = impassive। इसमें दोहरा ‘s’ (ss) आता है तथा प्रत्यय -ive होता है।
  • अर्थ: शांत, संवेगरहित, भावशून्य, या जिस पर किसी भावना का प्रभाव न दिखे (चेहरे पर कोई भाव न होना)।
  • अशुद्ध वर्तनी का विश्लेषण:
    • impasive: इसमें एक ‘s’ छूटा हुआ है।
    • impasseve / impaseve: प्रत्यय में ‘i’ के स्थान पर गलत ‘e’ का प्रयोग किया गया है।

अतः शुद्ध वर्तनी विकल्प a) impassive है।
