The officer dictates: 'We have freedom of speech.' Which word pair is spelled correctly?

Correct answer

freedom of speech — FREEDOM (F-R-E-E-D-O-M) and SPEECH (S-P-E-E-C-H); these First Amendment vocabulary words must be spelled correctly

  1. A freedom of speach
  2. B freedom of speech — FREEDOM (F-R-E-E-D-O-M) and SPEECH (S-P-E-E-C-H); these First Amendment vocabulary words must be spelled correctly
  3. C fredom of speech
  4. D freedom of speeche

Why this is the answer

FREEDOM OF SPEECH — FREEDOM (F-R-E-E-D-O-M) and SPEECH (S-P-E-E-C-H, double 'e'). These are First Amendment vocabulary words on the USCIS writing test. Common errors: 'speach' (correct is 'speech' with double 'e'), 'fredom' (missing 'e'), 'speeche' (extra letter). Freedom of speech is one of the five First Amendment freedoms (speech, religion, press, assembly, petition) and appears in both reading and writing test content; correct spelling demonstrates the required English writing ability.
