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. He practices what he preaches. II. The practise of closing shops on Sundays is quite common.
