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. This dress does not suit you.
II. He filed a civil suite against Mr. Arora.
Options
- AOnly sentence I is correct
- BOnly sentence II is correct
- CBoth the sentences I and II are correct
- DI as well II are incorrect, but both could be made correct by interchanging the italicised words
Correct answer
A. Only sentence I is correct
Step-by-step solution
The sentence I is correct. 'Suit'& means something that looks good on someone. Here, a dress is not suiting a person.
In sentence II, the word 'suite' is used which is incorrect. It should be 'civil suit' which means a lawsuit that settles disagreement between private parties.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
