   AbareBbearCbeerDboar
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) bear

   The context requires a verb meaning to tolerate or endure.

   Option 1 (bare) is wrong as it means uncovered or to reveal, not to tolerate.
   Option 3 (beer) is wrong because it refers to an alcoholic drink, a noun.
   Option 4 (boar) is wrong as it refers to a wild pig, a noun.

4. SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Homonyms & Homophones

   Select the most appropriate homonym.
   I will bear all the expenses.

   AAnimalBTolerateCAcceptDSend
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) Accept

   Meaning: bear has two unrelated meanings: the noun *bear* = the animal *(भालू)*, and the verb *bear* = to carry, to endure, to take on a burden *(सहन करना, वहन करना)*.
   In *I will bear all the expenses* the word is a verb — the speaker will shoulder the cost *(खर्च वहन करना)*.
   Of the four options, tolerate = to endure, put up with *(सहन करना, बर्दाश्त करना)* is the sense of the verb *bear*, so it is the answer the question wants.
   Why the others are wrong.
   • animal *(जानवर, यहाँ भालू)* — that is the noun *bear*; the sentence uses the verb.
   • accept = to agree to receive *(स्वीकार करना)* — accepting a bill is not the same as paying it; *bear* carries the burden.
   • send = to dispatch *(भेजना)* —

5. SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Homonyms & Homophones

   Select the most appropriate homonym.
   The soldiers will bear arms.

   AAnimalBCarryCAttackDSupport
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) Carry

   Meaning: bear here = to carry *(ले जाना, धारण करना)*.
   Bear arms is a fixed phrase = to carry weapons *(हथियार धारण करना)*.
   After the modal will, *bear* must be a verb, and soldiers carry their arms.
   Why the others are wrong.
   • animal *(भालू)* — that is the noun *bear*; "will bear" is a verb form, so the animal is ruled out at once.
   • attack *(हमला करना)* — no sense of *bear* means attack; the setter is playing on "arms" to suggest fighting.
   • support *(सहारा देना, भार उठाना)* — *bear* can mean support a load, as in "the beam bears the weight", but arms are carried, not propped up.
   Word help.
   arms = weapons *(हथियार)*.
   bear also = to tolerate *(सहना)*, as in "I cannot bear the noise".
   *Will +
