Question

Choose the correct word to fill the blank. Two words at A and B are provided for choice. If either of the words can be chosen, choose C and if none of the words can be chosen, then choose D as your choice:

The princess ordered for a new ________ dress.

• A. Bridle
• B. Bridal
• C. Any one of these
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Bridal

Homophones are words that have the same or similar pronunciations, but different meanings. 'Bridle' and 'bridal' are homophones.

Options A and B:

'Bridal' refers to anything pertaining to a bride, like clothes, jewellery, decoration, etc. It is relevant to the given sentence: the princess ordered a dress fit for a bride.

'Bridle' is a part of a tack or harness of a horse, consisting of a headstall, bit and reins. This word does not fit into the sentence in meaning.

Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.

Options C and D are incorrect for the same: C cannot be correct because A is incorrect, and D cannot be correct because B is correct.
