    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
    As of now, they have finished the construction of the ground flour.

    A.

    construction of the ground flavor

    B.

    construction of the ground floor

    C.

    construction of the ground flower

    D.

    construction of the ground flounder

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) construction of the ground floor.
    Explanation: The word "flour" is incorrectly used here. The sentence refers to the completion of building a part of a building, and the correct term for the lowest level is "floor", not "flour," which is a powder used in baking.
    Example: They completed the construction of the ground floor last week.
    Information Booster:
    · “Flour” and “floor” are homophones (sound alike but have different meanings and spellings).
    · Confusing them is a common lexical error in writing.
