He spilt the _______ on the _______.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → flour, floor
- Flour is the powder made by grinding wheat or other grain, used for making bread and chapatis. It is what one can spill, so it fills the first blank.
Example: Mix the flour with water to make the dough. - Floor is the surface of a room on which one walks. The flour fell on it, so it fills the second blank.
Example: The children sat on the floor. - Flower sounds like flour but means the coloured part of a plant, a bloom; it is not the powder one spills here.
Example: She picked a flower from the garden. - Fowl means a bird kept for its eggs or meat, such as a hen; it fits neither blank.
Example: The farmer keeps fowls in his backyard.
