Fill in the blanks in the sentences in List-I with the appropriate homonyms from List-II :
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (Sentences) | (Homonyms) |
| (A) One should not______ the orders of one's superiors. | (i) current |
| (B) During the medieval times, people would often ______ the ruling kings. | (II) currant |
| (C) The top brass of the company were worried by the _______anti-management sentiments of the employees. | (III) deify |
| (D) I am very fond of _____ buns and deserts. | (IV) defy |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
(A) "One should not _____ the orders" → needs defy (resist/disobey)
(B) "People would often _____ the ruling kings" → needs deify (worship as a god) - in medieval times, kings were often worshipped
(C) "worried by the _____ anti-management sentiments" → needs current (existing/present)
(D) "fond of _____ buns and deserts" → needs currant (dried fruit used in baking)
Option 1 → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV) → Incorrect matching (currant doesn't fit sentence A)
Option 2 → (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV) → Incorrect (currant doesn't fit sentence B)
Option 3 → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) → Correct matching: defy for A, deify for B, current for C, currant for D
Option 4 → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III) → Incorrect (currant doesn't fit sentence A)
Hence, Option 3: (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II) → This correctly pairs "defy" with resisting orders, "deify" with worshipping kings, "current" with present sentiments, and "currant" with fruit buns → correct
