Which of the following spelling is correct?

The correct spelling among the options provided is “Aggrandize.” To aggrandize means to increase the power, status, or wealth of; or to enhance the reputation of (someone) beyond what is justified by the facts. It is often used in the context of making something appear greater or more important than it actually is. Recognizing common prefixes and suffixes can help in identifying correct spellings for such words.

• Option A, “Agrandise,” is incorrect because it misses the second “g” and uses an “s” instead of a “z” at the end. The correct root is “grand,” and the suffix is commonly “-ize” in American English or “-ise” in British English, but the missing “g” is a definite error.
• Option C, “Agranzide,” is incorrect due to the misplaced “n” and “z” and the incorrect suffix “-ide.” The structure of the word is significantly altered from the correct spelling, making it unrecognizable.
• Option D, “Agorandise,” is incorrect because it introduces an extra “o” and misplaces the “n.” This spelling deviates substantially from the accepted form of the word, making it clearly wrong.
