SSC CGL 20268 Oct 2026Shift Shift-IIIHomonyms & Confusables

Identify the correct homonym that best fits the context of the sentence

The children were excited to see the _________ during their visit to the national park.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (B) deer

वाक्य में राष्ट्रीय उद्यान में देखे जाने वाले जानवर की बात है, इसलिए यहाँ deer (हिरण) आएगा।
dear – प्रिय; deer – हिरण; dears – प्रियजन (Plural); dare – साहस करना। Dear और deer का उच्चारण एक जैसा है, इसलिए यहाँ अर्थ से चुनाव होता है।
The sentence refers to an animal seen in a national park, so deer is correct.
•
dear — beloved
•
deer — a hoofed animal
•
dears — loved ones (plural)
•
dare — to have the courage
'Dear' and 'deer' sound alike, so the choice must be made from the meaning.
