Out of the four alternatives, choose the one that best expresses the meaning of following :
Chile and Chilly
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Chile- name of a country, Chilly - frosty
- Chile is a proper noun, the name of a country in South America; it does not mean "calm down" (that is the informal chill) or a sound.
Example: Chile is a long, narrow country along the Pacific coast. - Chilly means unpleasantly cold, frosty; the hot spicy pod is spelt chilli. Chile and chilly sound alike but differ in spelling and meaning (homophones).
Example: It was a chilly morning, so we wore our sweaters.
