Select the sentence containing the homonym of the highlighted word

The professor gave a long lecture on postmodernism.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (C) He will lecture the students on discipline.

दिए गए वाक्य में lecture Noun है, जिसका अर्थ व्याख्यान है। Option C में lecture Verb है और 'lecture the students on
discipline' का अर्थ डाँटते हुए उपदेश देना है, जो अलग अर्थ है। A, B और D में lecture का अर्थ व्याख्यान ही है।

In the given sentence, lecture is a noun meaning a talk given to an audience. In option C it is a verb meaning to scold or admonish ('lecture the students on discipline'), a different meaning, so C is the homonym. A, B and D use 'lecture' to mean a talk.
