Question

Which of the following pairs of homonyms can be used to fill in the blanks most suitably?
She enjoyed her morning _________ while watching a ____________ on TV.

A.

cereal, serial

B.

serial, serial

C.

serial, cereal

D.

cereal, cereal

Correct option is A

The correct option to fill in the blank is ( a) cereal, serial.
“Morning cereal” refers to a grain-based breakfast food; a serial is a TV show presented in a series of episodes. Hence, the first blank needs cereal (breakfast), and the second blank needs serial (TV). (Hindi: cereal = अनाज/नाश्ते का दलिया, serial = धारावाहिक)
Example: She poured milk over her cereal and switched on her favorite serial.
Explain why other options are incorrect.
· (b) serial, serial: The first blank requires a food item, not a TV show.
· (c) serial, cereal: Reverses the meanings; TV in the first blank and food in the second is illogical.
· (d) cereal, cereal: The second blank refers to a TV program, not a food.
