SSC Stenographer - 08 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q120

Select the most appropriate homonym.

They had a heated row last night.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The most appropriate homonym for the word row in the sentence "They had a heated row last night" is: ‘Argument’

In this context, the word row refers to a noisy argument or dispute.

While "row" can also mean a line (as in a row of seats) or an action involving a boat (to row a boat), or a series, those meanings do not fit the context of being "heated."
