Question

Choose the correct option to complete the sentence.
She contracted a cold and had problems with stuffy ________.

A.

knows

B.

news

C.

nose

D.

noose

Correct option is C

The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) nose.
Explanation: The set phrase is stuffy nose, meaning nasal congestion due to a cold; नाक बंद होना/जाम नाक. Among the homophones, only nose (body part) fits the medical context.
Example: After catching the flu, he suffered from a stuffy nose and headaches.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (a) knows: verb (3rd person singular of know); जानता/जानती है—grammatically and semantically inappropriate.
· (b) news: information reports; समाचार—does not collocate with stuffy.
· (d) noose: looped rope; फंदा—wrong meaning.
