A fruit, Couple

Couple, A fruit

Plum, Two of a kind

Correct Answer:

Couple, A fruit

Explanation:

The answer is Couple, A fruit.

  • Pair means two of something that are similar or go together. It can be used to refer to two people, two objects, or two animals. For example, a pair of shoes, a pair of gloves, or a pair of rabbits.
  • Pear is a type of fruit that is typically green or yellow in color. It has a long, narrow neck and a round bottom. Pears are a good source of fiber and vitamin C.

The main difference between the two words is that pair is a general term that can refer to two of anything, while pear is a specific term that refers to a type of fruit.
