Question

Replace the highlighted word in the given sentence with its correctly spelt version.
I have been morning the death of my pet dog.

A.

moruning

B.

mourning

C.

murning

D.

merning

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted word is (b) mourning.
Explanation:
The word "morning" refers to the early part of the day, whereas the context of the sentence clearly talks about expressing sorrow due to a loss. The correct word should be "mourning" which means expressing grief.
Grammatical rule used: Confusing homophones: "Morning" (सुबह) vs. "Mourning" (शोक मनाना)
Example: She was mourning the loss of her pet.
�� Note: Always cross-check context when homophones are present — similar sound, different meanings.
