- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Homonyms & Homophones
Choose the correct word to complete the sentence.
The ______ rose as the fog cleared.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) sun
Meaning: sun = the star that gives the earth its light and heat *(सूर्य, सूरज)*.
Fog lifting at daybreak, and something *rising* as it goes — only the sun rises over a clearing fog.
Why the others are wrong.
• son = a male child *(पुत्र, बेटा)* — an exact homophone of *sun*, but a son does not rise as the fog clears.
• sin = a wrongful or immoral act *(पाप)* — near in sound, nowhere near in sense.
• soon = in a short while *(शीघ्र, जल्दी)* — an adverb, and an adverb cannot stand after the as the subject of *rose*.
Word help.
fog = thick mist lying close to the ground *(कोहरा)*.
clear (of fog) = to thin away, to lift *(छँट जाना)*.
rose = past tense of *rise*, to go up *(उठना, उदय होना)*.
*Sun
