Sometimes I can’t conceive of how much time my grandfather spends watching sports on TV. One day, he turned off a basketball game long before it was over. I asked him if anything was wrong.

“I’m just fed up with commercials,” he replied. “There are too many of them, and they really affect my enjoyment of the game.”

He emphesized his point by tossing me the remote.

Which underlined word is misspelled, and what is the spelling mistake?

A
conceive; its vowel pair is in the wrong order; it should be ie

B
commercials; it should have only one m, not a double consonant

C
affect; it is a word often confused with effect, a word that better fits the meaning in this sentence

D
