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. He waived his sword in the air.
II. I wave my claim in your favour.

• 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 D I as well as II are incorrect, but both could be made correct by interchanging the italicized words

The correct answer is Option D.

WAVED should be the correct word in sentence 1. It means to move in the air.

In sentence 2, the correct word will be WAIVED which means to give up.

Thus both the sentences can be corrected by interchanging the words.
