Choose the option that contains the incorrect pair of homonym(s).
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Beside, Besides
The option that contains the incorrect pair of homonym(s) is "Beside, Besides."
- Beside means next to or by the side of.
- Besides means in addition to or apart from.
They don't sound similar and have different meanings and are not true homonyms (words that sound alike but have different meanings).
The other options are correct pairs of homonyms:
- Cite (to quote) and site (a location).
- Bear (to carry or endure) and bare (uncovered).
- Duel (a contest between two people) and dual (consisting of two parts).
