In each question below, are given two sentences numbered I and II. In these sentences, two homonyms are given in italics, which may be either misspelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentences. Read both the sentences carefully and decide on their correctness on the basis of the italicised words. I. A painter is an artiste . II. Raj Kapoor is a skilled artist .

Step-by-step solution

Both the given sentences are incorrect. The first sentence is 'A painter is an artiste'. The word 'artiste' used is incorrect as artiste means a person who is skilled in theatre, singing, dancing, or acting. The second sentence is 'Raj Kapoor is a skilled artist'. The word 'artist' used here is incorrect as it means a person skilled in fine arts such as poetry or drawing. If both the italicised words are interchanged then the sentence will become correct.
