|---|---|---|
| (A) Since the tenor of the document submitted was not clear, it was rejected. | (III) tenor | Tenor means the general meaning or drift of something written or said. The document was rejected because its general sense was unclear. (Tenor and tenure sound alike: tenor is the general sense, and tenure is a period in office.) |
| (B) The collision between the two cars proved very fatal for the passengers. | (IV) collision | Collision means a crash between two moving objects, here two cars. (Collision and collusion sound alike: collision is a crash, and collusion is a secret, dishonest agreement.) |
| (C) He is seen interacting more with the staff as his tenure as the chairman is drawing close. | (II) tenure | Tenure means the period for which a person holds an office. His term as chairman is coming to an end. |
| (D) The domestic help in collusion with the robbers staged the robbery in a manner that would cast no aspersion on him. | (I) collusion | Collusion means secret cooperation for a dishonest purpose. The servant secretly worked with the robbers so that no suspicion would fall on him. |
