SSC CHSL - 30 Nov 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q9

Select the sentence containing the homonym of the highlighted word:

He offered a great deal on the used car.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A homonym is a word that has the same spelling and pronunciation as another word but a different meaning.

In the original sentence, 'deal' refers to a bargain or agreement. In options A, C, and D, 'deal' is used in the same context as an agreement or bargain.

The word 'deal' in option B refers to the action of distributing cards, which is a different meaning, making it a homonym.
