Which is the correct spelling of the month when we celebrate Thanksgiving?

Correct answer

November

  1. A Novmeber
  2. B Noveber
  3. C November
  4. D Noviembre

Why this is the answer

NOVEMBER is the 11th month of the year. Correct spelling: N-O-V-E-M-B-E-R (8 letters). Common dictation sentences: 'Thanksgiving is in November.' 'Labor Day is in September.' Remember the months that pair with holidays for the USCIS writing test: February — Presidents Day; May — Memorial Day; June — Flag Day; July — Independence Day; September — Labor Day; October — Columbus Day; November — Thanksgiving. NOVEMBER spelling tips: starts with N-O-V (rhymes with 'dove'); has 'ember' at the end (like December, September, and October all end in '-ember'); total 8 letters. Writing with correct capitalization: CAPITALIZE the first letter of each month (N). All months are proper nouns in English and must be capitalized wherever they appear in a sentence.
