The question is testing for word usage of cross in different contexts.

When you need to get to the other side of a street, river, or any obstacle, you cross it - meaning you go from one side to the other. Think of it like crossing your fingers for good luck, but instead you're crossing physical spaces!

If your little brother keeps annoying you while you're trying to study, you might get cross with him - which means you become irritated, annoyed, or downright grumpy. It's like when someone crosses the line and gets on your nerves!

Sometimes life gives us heavy burdens or hardships that we must endure, and we call these our cross to bear - referring to the weight of responsibility or suffering we must carry, just like how people historically carried wooden crosses.

Option 1 -> Uses "cross" correctly as a verb meaning to traverse or go across the river.

Option 2 -> Uses "cross" correctly as an adjective meaning irritated or bad-tempered.

Option 3 -> Uses "cross" correctly as part of the idiomatic phrase "cross to bear," which refers to a burden or hardship to endure.

Option 4 -> Uses "cross" incorrectly as an adjective to describe jokes - jokes themselves cannot be "cross" (angry/irritated), though they might be offensive or inappropriate.

Hence, Option 4 is correct.
