Select the most appropriate homophone to fill in the blank.
The summer was ______ hot this year.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. too.
The word "too" means "excessively" or "more than what is necessary," which fits the context of the sentence, describing how hot the summer was.
Here's why the other options don't work:
Tow refers to pulling something, usually a vehicle or object, and is unrelated to the temperature.
Two is the number 2, which makes no sense in the sentence.
To is a preposition that generally indicates direction, place, or purpose, which doesn’t apply in this case.
