   Answer & explanation

   Answer: D) The diver dove deep into the ocean.

   Correct Answer: Option 4 — The diver dove deep into the ocean.
   In the question, 'dove' = the bird (a noun — a type of pigeon).
   In Option 4, 'dove' = past tense of 'dive' (a verb — to plunge headfirst into water). Same spelling and pronunciation, completely different meaning = homonym.
   Why others are wrong:
   Option 1: 'dove' = the bird — same meaning as the question.
   Option 2: 'dove' = the bird — same meaning.
   Option 3: 'dove headfirst' could be the verb, but 'He saw the dove' is grammatically ambiguous — Option 4 is clearer and more correct.
