Select the most appropriate homophones to fill in the blanks.
I ________ that he has been promoted to the post of _____ officer.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. heard; sealing.
"Heard" is the past tense of hear, indicating you received or listened to information.
"Sealing" refers to the act of closing or securing something, which could make sense in certain job contexts, like a sealing officer who might be responsible for sealing containers, documents, or rooms.
Ceiling and herd don't fit the context here.
