Question

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. The price of wheat _____ has gone up in recent times.

• A. flour
• B. flower
• C. follower
• D. floor

Answer 1

Answer:

A. flour

• This is a test of homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings). • Flour: A powder obtained by grinding grain (used to make bread/wheat products). • Flower: The seed-bearing part of a plant. • Floor: The lower surface of a room. • Follower: Someone who supports or admires a person/cause. • Since the sentence mentions "wheat," flour is the only logical choice.
