Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the correct homonym from the given options to fill in the blank.

Which________does the minister take to reach the Assembly?

Options:

riot

rot

root

route

Correct Answer:

route

Explanation:

The correct homonym to fill in the blank is route.

The word route means a way or course of travel from one place to another. It is the most appropriate word because it accurately describes the path that the minister takes to reach the Assembly.

The other options are not homonyms of the word "route."

  • Riot means a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd. It does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because the minister is not taking a violent path to reach the Assembly.
  • Rot means to decay or decompose. It does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because the minister is not taking a path that is decaying or decomposing.
  • Root means the part of a plant that grows underground and absorbs water and nutrients. It does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because the minister is not taking a path that is a root.
