৫০তম BCS — Spelling (Disputed Question)
এই পরীক্ষায় এই টপিক থেকে ১টি প্রশ্ন — তবে board একাধিক উত্তর গ্রহণ করেছে।
প্রশ্ন ৪০: Identify the incorrect spelling-
Options: (ক)
diletante (incorrect) • (খ)
homonym (board says incorrect — বিতর্কিত) • (গ) cromulent • (ঘ) accubation
বিতর্কিত প্রশ্ন — সতর্কতা
বোর্ডের ভাষ্য: উভয় ক ও খ-কে incorrect spelling হিসেবে চিহ্নিত করেছে। কিন্তু:
- 'diletante' — স্পষ্টভাবে ভুল (সঠিক বানান dilettante, Italian origin, অর্থ amateur enthusiast of arts)
- 'homonym' — আধুনিক ইংরেজিতে সঠিক বানান (words with same spelling/pronunciation but different meanings; e.g., 'bank' = financial institution OR river edge)
সম্ভবত মূল প্রশ্নপত্রে 'homonym'-এর জায়গায় 'homonim' বা অন্য misprint ছিল। পরীক্ষায় board-গৃহীত উত্তরই প্রযোজ্য।
