Question:

What is the difference between 'wait' and 'weight'?

Options:

Power, Pause

Pause, Power

Heaviness, Pause

Pause, Heaviness

Correct Answer:

Pause, Heaviness

Explanation:

The answer is ☀ Pause, Heaviness.

  • Wait is a verb that means to stay in place until something else happens.
  • Weight is a noun that refers to the heaviness of a person or thing.

The two words are homophones, which means they sound the same but have different meanings. They are often confused because they are both related to the concept of time. However, wait refers to the period of time that someone spends waiting, while weight refers to the amount of heaviness that something has.

The other options are incorrect. Power and pause are not related to each other in any way. Pause and heaviness are related to each other, but they are not the same thing. Pause is a temporary stop, while heaviness is a measure of how much something weighs.
