8) Which word is spelled correctly? \( \begin{array}{l}\text { A) Argumeant B) Argument } \\ \text { C) Arguement }\end{array} \)

The correct spelling is B) Argument. This word comes from the Latin "argumentum," which means "evidence" or "proof." Used widely in both spoken and written contexts, it refers to a statement or series of statements that support a conclusion or point of view. One common mistake is confusing "argument" with "argumentative." While both relate to the idea of discussion, "argument" is a noun and often implies a reasoned point of view, whereas "argumentative" describes someone who often gets into disputes. So, when discussing "argument," remember it's about presenting ideas, not just debating!
