Which of the following is spelled correctly?
-
A
Judgmental
-
B
Judgmentle
-
C
Judgemental
-
D
Judgementle
"Judgmental" is spelled correctly with single 'e' after 'g' following standard American English spelling conventions.
A) Judgmental
Correctly spelled following American English convention that drops the 'e' in "judgement" when adding suffixes, making "judgment" the base form and "judgmental" the derivative adjective.
B) Judgmentle
Incorrectly substitutes 'e' for 'a' at the end, violates standard adjective suffix pattern "-al" required for this word class.
C) Judgemental
Uses British English spelling "judgement" with 'e' retained, but American English (implied by test context) standardizes "judgment" without 'e', making this nonstandard for U.S. usage.
D) Judgementle
Combines British spelling "judgement" with incorrect final 'e' substitution, double error violating both American spelling conventions and adjective suffix rules.
Conclusion
American English standardizes "judgment" (without 'e') as the noun form, making "judgmental" the correct adjective spelling. British English accepts "judgement," but standardized U.S. tests follow American conventions requiring single 'g' without 'e' before the '-al' suffix.
