Question

Choose the correct homonym to complete the sentence:
I have eaten a _____ from this tree.

• A. buries
• B. bury
• C. berry
• D. bore

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

berry

In the sentence “eaten” represents that we have to look for something that is edible.

Option C: “berry” is an edible fruit and gives the sentence meaning. Thus, this is the correct option.

Options A and B: “buries” and “bury” both refer to the act of putting something in the ground or hiding something. This is irrelevant in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D: “bore” refers to making a hollow in something. This is irrelevant in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.
