Which of the following sentences uses the word "trip" with a different meaning from the others?
Answer & explanation
Answer: D) Our annual family trip to the beach was unforgettable.
Correct Answer: Option 4 — "Our annual family trip to the beach was unforgettable."
The word 'trip' has two distinct meanings:
Meaning 1 — 'trip' as a VERB = to stumble; to catch one's foot and fall or nearly fall.
Options 1, 2, and 3 all use 'trip' as a verb meaning to stumble:
• 'made him trip and fall' = stumble ✓
• 'would trip over his own feet' = stumble ✓
• 'wouldn't trip on the uneven pavement' = stumble ✓
Meaning 2 — 'trip' as a NOUN = a journey or excursion to a place.
Option 4: 'our annual family trip to the beach' = a journey/excursion ✓ — DIFFERENT meaning
Therefore, Option 4 uses 'trip' with a different meaning (noun = journey) compared to Options 1, 2, and 3 (verb = stumble). ✓
