- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Homonyms & Homophones
Which of the following is NOT the meaning of the homonym 'resort'?
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) To arrange things again in a particular order
Meaning: the homonym resort has three uses:
• a place visited for holidays or for a purpose *(पर्यटन-स्थल, विश्राम-स्थल)* — *a hill resort*.
• to turn to something as a means, usually a last one *(सहारा लेना)* — *resort to violence*.
• a course of action taken as a last option *(अंतिम उपाय)* — *as a last resort*.
"To arrange things again in a particular order" is re-sort *(फिर से छाँटना)* — a different word, written with a hyphen; it only looks like *resort* when the hyphen is dropped.
Why the others are fine.
• A place frequently visited for a specific purpose *(किसी प्रयोजन से बार-बार जाने की जगह)* — the older sense; *a resort of scholars*.
• A popular holiday or vacation destination *(छुट
