R Pairs

It’s rarefy, not rarify.

It’s rapt in thought, not wrapped.

Be careful with these: ravage means to destroy something. Ravish means to rape or carry off, although it can also be used, carefully, to mean make rapt.

Rack is right, wrack is wrong or, at least, archaic. Rack your brain or your nerves; never wrack them.
