Which of the following pairs of homonyms can be used to fill in the blanks most suitably?
The two knights engaged in a fierce ____, using swords with ____ edges.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) duel, dual
पहले blank में संज्ञा चाहिए, इसलिए duel (दो व्यक्तियों के बीच निर्धारित लड़ाई) आएगा। दूसरे blank में 'edges' को describe करने वाला Adjective चाहिए, इसलिए dual (दोहरा) आएगा, यानी दोनों ओर धार वाली तलवारें।
•
dual — दोहरा; duel – द्वंद्व युद्ध।
The first blank needs a noun, so duel (a formal fight between two persons) is used. The second blank needs an adjective describing 'edges', so dual (double) is used, giving swords with two cutting edges.
