Question

In the question below are given two sentences numbered I and II. In these sentences, two homonyms are given in italics type, which may be either mis-spelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence. Read both the sentences carefully and decide on their correctness on the basis of the italicized words.
(I) He did not acede to my request.
(II)Don't exceed the limits.

(A) only sentence I is correct
(B) only sentence II is correct
(C) both the sentences I and II are correct
(D) I as well as II are incorrect, but both could be made correct by interchanging the italicized words
(E) Neither I nor II is correct, and the sentence could not be made correct by interchanging the italicized words.

Answer 1

Hint:Spelling abilities are not something from which people are born; at the same time as we learn to read and write, we learn to spell. Spelling can pose a specific challenge for people who struggle with learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, as it involves the ability to break words into sounds and then match certain sounds to letters and combinations of letters.

Complete answer:
This is better said than done, since there are many forms of spelling the same sound in English. There are also plenty of silent letters, words with unintuitive spellings that violate the rules, and foreign words. One way to teach students spelling skills is by teaching phonics. Teachers introduce groups of similarly spelled words and speak about various combinations of letters and the sounds they represent. It is also useful for students to grasp suffixes, affixes and consonant clusters.
Educators will recommend plenty of reading. That's because in reading, the more you see a word pronounced correctly, the more likely you are to remember it.

The right spelling for the italicized word in both the sentences is 'Reverent'. Reverent means expressing appreciation and reverence. The spelling of 'Reverent' is wrong in both sentences I and II. Neither does the second sentence make much sense. Thus, options A, B, C and D are incorrect and the correct answer is option E, i.e.: neither I nor II is correct, and by exchanging the italicized words, the statement could not be correct.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘E’.

Note:In order to answer such questions, it is necessary that you have a proper knowledge of vocabulary and along with the knowledge of the main rules related to grammar, you must also be a good reader.
