Q. Identify the correct spelling from the options given below.
a) Reservoir
b) Reservoure
c) Reservor
d) Reservour
Correct Answer: a) Reservoir
Question from UPPSC Prelims CSAT 2025
Explanation:
The correct spelling is ‘reservoir’ (R-E-S-E-R-V-O-I-R), meaning a storage place for liquid and derived from French ‘réservoir’. The other options are misspellings: ‘Reservoure’ incorrectly uses ‘ou’ and adds a final ‘e’; ‘Reservor’ omits the ‘i’; ‘Reservour’ uses ‘ou’ instead of ‘oi’. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
