Fill Blanks

Question:

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

The wind________ so powerfully that the door closed.

Options:

blew

blues

blue

blow

Correct Answer:

blew

Explanation:

The correct homonym to fill in the blank is blew.

The word "blew" is the past tense of the verb "to blow." It is the most appropriate word to use because it accurately describes the action of the wind. The wind blew so powerfully that it caused the door to close.

The other options are not as appropriate.

  • Blues is a genre of music. It does not make sense in this context, because the wind is not making music.
  • Blue is a color. It does not make sense in this context, because the wind is not a color.
  • Blow is the infinitive form of the verb "to blow." It is not the correct form to use in this sentence, because the speaker is not describing the wind as being in the process of blowing.
