Question

In the question below are given two sentences numbered I and II. In these sentences, two homonyms are given in italics type, which may be either mis-spelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence. Read both the sentences carefully and decide on their correctness on the basis of the italicized words.
I. Don't merge your hand in hot water.
II. A dolphin emerged out of the ocean.

• A. only sentence I is correct
• B. only sentence II is correct
• C. both the sentences I and II are correct
• D. I as well as II are incorrect, but both could be made correct by interchanging the italicized words
• E. neither I nor II is correct, and the sentence could not be made correct by interchanging the italicized words

Answer 1

The correct option is B only sentence II is correct

The correct answer is Option B.

MERGE means to mix. The correct word in sentence 1 would be IMMERGE which means to dip in.

The 2nd sentence is correct because emerged means to come out.

Thus only sentence 2 is correct.
