Select the most appropriate homonym.
They had a heated row last night.

Correct option is A

The correct sense of “row” here is “argument” (pronounced /rau/), meaning a noisy dispute or quarrel; झगड़ा / तीखी बहस. The adjective “heated” collocates naturally with argument, signaling anger and raised voices.
Example: A heated row broke out between the neighbours over the parking space.
Why other options are incorrect (homonym senses):
· (b) Line (रो / कतार): As in “a row of chairs”—doesn’t fit with “heated.”
· (c) Boat (नौका चलाना): Verb sense of to row (चप्पू चलाना); unrelated to quarrels.
· (d) Series (क्रम): “In a row” meaning consecutively; again, incompatible with “heated.”
Information booster:
· Row (/rau/) → quarrel/argument.
· Row (/roʊ/) → line/series or the verb “to row” a boat. Context (e.g., heated) decides the meaning.
