Question:

Choose the incorrect pair of homophones from the options given below:

Options:

Antique, Antic

Pane, Pain

Maze, Maize

Recourse, Resource

Correct Answer:

Recourse, Resource

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Recourse, Resource

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings or spellings.

In this pair, "recourse" and "resource" are not homophones because they have different pronunciations and meanings. "Recourse" refers to a source of help or action, while "resource" refers to a stock or supply of assets that can be drawn upon when needed. So, the pair "recourse" and "resource" is incorrect.
