Homonyms

Question:

Which of the following words is a homonym for 'Dose"?

Options:

does

doze

days

doos

Correct Answer:

doze

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → doze

The correct homonym for "dose" is doze.

Here's why:

  • Homonyms are words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings.
  • "Does" is not a homonym of "dose" as they have different spellings and pronunciations.
  • "Days" and "doos" are not words in the English language, so they cannot be homonyms of "dose."
  • "Doze" shares the same pronunciation as "dose" ("doh-z"), but has a different meaning (to sleep lightly).

Therefore, doze is the only option that qualifies as a homonym for "dose" based on shared pronunciation and distinct meanings.
