| Word | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) veil | a piece of thin cloth worn to cover the face, and as a verb, to cover or hide (a baby does not begin to veil) | The bride wore a white veil. |
| (2) vale | a valley, a word used mainly in poetry and place names (it is a noun, not an action) | Mist lay over the quiet vale. |
| (3) wail (answer) | to give a long, loud, high cry of pain or distress (the four options sound almost alike, and only wail is a verb with this meaning) | The lost child began to wail for his mother. |
| (4) vial | a small glass bottle for medicine or liquids (again a noun with no link to crying) | The nurse filled the syringe from a small vial. |
