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.
