Choose the word with the incorrect suffix 'ship' :

Question

Accepted Answer

The word with the incorrect suffix 'ship' is **Argueship (Option 4)**.

Here's why:

*   **Argueship** is not a recognized word in the English language. The suffix '-ship' typically denotes a state, condition, quality, office, or skill. While 'argue' is a verb, adding '-ship' doesn't create a meaningful or grammatically correct noun. It doesn't represent a state, condition, or any of the typical meanings associated with the '-ship' suffix.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

*   **Friendship:** This is a correctly formed word. 'Friend' is a noun, and '-ship' denotes the state or condition of being friends.
*   **Membership:** This is a correctly formed word. 'Member' is a noun, and '-ship' denotes the state of being a member.
*   **Relationship:** This is a correctly formed word. 'Relation' is a noun (though often used in the plural), and '-ship' denotes the state or condition of being related.
