Worked Solution

Step 1: Recall the root word. The root word is "achieve" (verb). Step 2: Apply the correct suffix. Adding the noun suffix "-ment" to "achieve" gives "achieve" + "ment" = "achievement". The silent "e" at the end of "achieve" is retained before "-ment". Step 3: Check the vowel sequence. The vowel pair is "ie" (not "ei"): a-c-h-i-e-v-e-m-e-n-t. Answer: The correctly spelt word is "achievement".

Correct answer: achievement
