From the given alternative options, select the word which cannot be formed using the letters of the given word INCONVENIENCE:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → CONSCIENCE
A word can be formed only if every letter it needs is in INCONVENIENCE, as many times as it is needed. INCONVENIENCE has I (2), N (4), C (2), O (1), V (1) and E (3), and no S.
Option (1) CONVENE — needs C, O, V and two each of N and E: all available.
Option (2) CONVINCE — needs two C, two N, and O, V, I, E: all available.
Option (3) CONSCIENCE — needs an S, which INCONVENIENCE does not have, so it cannot be formed.
Option (4) CONCEIVE — needs two C, two E, and O, N, I, V: all available.
