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 misspelled 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. This is the best stationary shop in our locality. II. I saw a stationery van there.

Step-by-step solution

Both sentences are incorrect. In the first sentence, the word 'stationary' is incorrect. It should be 'stationery' which means shops that contain writing materials such as paper, pen, envelopes, etc. In the second sentence, the word 'stationery' is incorrect. It should be 'stationary' which is an adjective used for not moving objects. It can be observed that both sentences can be corrected by interchanging the italicised words.
