These are three words which have something in common among themselves. Out of the four alternatives choose the most appropriate description about these three words:
Paper : Pen : Colours
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → These are stationery items
Stationery is the name for writing and drawing materials such as paper, pens, pencils and colours. All three words fit it, so it is the most appropriate description.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) These are drawing items — Incorrect. Paper and pen are used mainly for writing, so “drawing” fits only colours fully.
Option (3) These are study materials — Incorrect. Study materials are books and notes; colours are not usually counted among them.
Option (4) These are official items — Incorrect. The three are used everywhere, not only in offices, and colours are seldom office items.
