Question

Choose the correct homonym to complete the sentence.
He and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ will be going to the theatre tonight.
A. Eyrie
B. Eye
C. I
D. I’ll

Answer 1

Hint: Each of two or more words having the same spelling or pronunciation but different meanings and origins are homonyms. According to that, we need to find out the best suitable option.

Complete answer:
Option A) Eyrie – This is an incorrect option because Eyrie refers to the nest of a carnivorous bird, built at a high altitude. This is irrelevant in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option B) Eye – This is an incorrect option because eye” does not provide the sentence with any meaning. This is irrelevant in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option C) I – This option is correct because “I” provides the sentence meaning. The sentence then means that “Both of us will go to the theatre tonight.” Hence this is the correct option.
Option D) I’ll – This option is incorrect because “I’ll” is the shortened form of “I will”. If used, the sentence would become, “He and I will be going to the theatre tonight.” Which is incorrect. Hence this option is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:You must know all the different meanings of a given word because all the other options act as plausible distractions. Here ‘I’ is the best suitable answer for this. Hence C is the correct option.
