Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the correct homonym from the given options to fill in the blank.

Nadia had an apple and a________ for breakfast.

Options:

pear

prier

pair

pare

Correct Answer:

pear

Explanation:

The correct homonym to fill in the blank is pear.

The sentence is about Nadia's breakfast, which included an apple and a pear. The word "pear" is a noun that refers to a round fruit with a green or yellow skin and white flesh. In this context, the speaker is saying that Nadia had an apple and a pear for breakfast.

The other options are not correct homonyms for the blank.

  • Prier is a verb that means to pray or to ask for something earnestly. It does not make sense in the sentence.
  • Pair is a noun that refers to two things of the same kind that are used together. It does not make sense in the sentence because Nadia only had one pear.
  • Pare is a verb that means to remove the outer layer of something. It does not make sense in the sentence because Nadia did not remove the outer layer of the pear.
