Question

Which of the following options is NOT one of the meanings of the homonym 'register'?

A.

To show or express an emotion clearly on the face

B.

To enroll or sign up officially for something

C.

A type of musical instrument used in medieval courts

D.

A machine used to record sales in a shop

Correct option is C

Option (c) is not a meaning of register.
· (a) “to show/express on the face” is valid: e.g., His shock registered on his face.
· (b) “to enroll/sign up” is valid: e.g., She registered for the seminar.
· (d) “a machine used to record sales” is valid: cash register.
· (c) is incorrect because in music, register refers to the range of pitches of a voice or instrument—not to a medieval instrument itself (often confused with “regal,” a small medieval keyboard instrument).
· Information booster: As a homonym, register works as both verb (to record; to show; to enroll) and noun (official list; tonal range in music; device like a register for ventilation or a cash register).
