Suppose you're writing a letter and you recall a word you'd like to use, but you don't know how it's

spelled. If you wanted to look up the word in a dictionary, you could use any of the following techniques
except

A. looking up the word as you think it's spelled.

B. using the first letter of the word and searching through all the entries under that letter.

C. looking up a related word that you can spell in search of clues.

D. writing the word the way you think it's spelled to jog your recall.

c . because It should show synonyms & if you cant find the word you're looking for , you can always use a different but similar word (:

B - because searching through all the entries when you aren't even sure of the spelling is just a waste of time.
