   AstealBleadCledDlewd
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) lead

   • "Steal" means to take something unlawfully, which is incorrect here.
   • "Led" is the past tense of lead (to guide), which is unrelated.
   • "Lewd" means indecent or vulgar, which is irrelevant.
   • Therefore, "lead" is the correct word.

2. SSC MTS 2024 Homonyms & Homophones

   Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
   He is going to _________ the campaign against excessive use of _________ in local production units.

   AcombatBprotestCleadDspice
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) lead

   Answer: c) lead
   Explanation:
   The correct sentence is: "He is going to lead the campaign against excessive use of lead in local production units."
   • Lead (verb) = to guide or head a movement or effort (नेतृत्व करना)
   • Lead (noun) = a toxic metal sometimes used in manufacturing (सीसा)
   Here, the word "lead" is used twice:
   • First as a verb (to lead the campaign)
   • Second as a noun (the harmful substance being overused)
   This makes "lead" the only option that fits both blanks grammatically and meaningfully.
