The problem with this test is that giving you options makes you second guess yourself. Why on most tests such as I.Q. tests the test giver will verbally ask you to spell a word.

Second, how the fark do I know what is correct British-English?

Tumba -- Not the same, reversed.

Yes, and that was intentional - the first 2 were American English and the last 2 were British English.

I'm slipping - 21. I used to win spelling bees when I was a kid.
