- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Homonyms & Homophones
Which of the following options is NOT one of the meanings of the homonym 'tender'?
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) A legal document authorizing someone to conduct a trial
Meaning: tender works as a noun, an adjective and a verb — a priced offer, gentle in feeling, and a small attending boat *(निविदा; कोमल; सहायक नौका)*.
A legal document authorizing someone to conduct a trial *(मुक़दमा चलाने का प्राधिकार-पत्र)* is no sense of *tender* at all — that is a warrant or a commission.
So option 3 is the one the question is hunting for.
Why the others are fine.
• An offer to carry out work or supply goods at a stated price *(निविदा, ठेके की बोली)* — as in *floating a tender*; the same noun gives *legal tender*, money that must be accepted.
• Showing gentleness or concern *(कोमल, स्नेहपूर्ण)* — *a tender look*; of meat it means soft and easy to cut.
• A small boat used
