Find the sentence with the correct homonym usage.
Answer & explanation
Answer: D) She doesn’t want to lose her keys.
"Lose" (verb, / luːz /) means to be deprived of or fail to keep something. "Loose" (adjective, / luːs /) means not tight. "Loss" is a noun. Only option 4 correctly uses "lose" — "She doesn’t want to lose her keys." Option 1 uses "loose" where "lose" is needed. Option 2 misuses "lose". Option 3 uses "loss" instead of "loose". Hence the correct answer is the fourth option.
