Solution
The question is testing for word usage between draw and drawer.
A draw can mean several things: a tie in a game or contest (like when neither team wins), a lottery selection process, or the action of pulling something toward you. Think of it like this - when you draw a picture, you're pulling the pencil across paper, and when a match ends in a draw, both teams are "pulled" to the same result with no winner.
A drawer is that sliding compartment in furniture where you store your stuff. Picture yourself pulling out that wooden box from your desk to grab a pen - that's a drawer. It's the thing that holds your socks, documents, or that collection of random items everyone seems to accumulate.
Option 1 -> Correct usage. "Draw" refers to a tied cricket match with no winner.
Option 2 -> Correct usage. "Draw" refers to the lottery selection process.
Option 3 -> Incorrect usage. Should be "drawer" (the sliding compartment) not "draw."
Option 4 -> Correct usage. "Draw" means to pull or extract water from the well.
Hence, Option 3 is correct.
