  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct homonym to complete the sentence:

    She ______ the story to her child at bedtime.
    Solution

    Option A: This can be a confusing option because of the irregular nature of the verb “read”. It is spelled the same in past and present tenses but pronounced differently. In case of the present tense, it is pronounced with an “ee” sound, as in “reed” or “seed”; in case of past tense, it is pronounced with an “e” sound, as in “red” or “bed”.
    In this case the subject is singular and in third person. In such cases, the verbs in present tense are used with a “s” at the end, while those in past tense are used directly. Thus, it is the past tense “read” we are looking at, since it has no “s”.  It makes a meaningful sentence and hence is the correct option.

    Option B: “red” is a color. This is irrelevant in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

    Options C and D: “rode” and “ride” are different tenses of the verb “ride”, which refers to the act of sitting on something that is moving. This is irrelevant in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Select the synonym for the following word from the options given below: 
    ACKNOWLEDGE
    Solution
    'Acknowledge' means to accept, admit or recognize something. E.g. She acknowledged having been at fault. 'Disown' means to disinherit something. 'Own' means to belong to a particular person. 'Besides' means in addition to. 'Involve' means part of some activity. 
    Thus, option B is the correct synonym for the given word. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Select the synonym for the following word from the options given below: 
    AID
    Solution
    'Aid' means to help or support. E.g. He gets about with the aid of a walking stick. 'Check' means to verify. 'Calm' means pleasant and peaceful. 'Assist' means to help. 'Like' means fond of something or someone. 
    Thus, option C is the correct synonym for the given word.
