Select the sentence containing the homonym of the highlighted word:
He had a strong will to overcome adversity.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) They signed a will before retirement.
Correct Answer: Option 1 — They signed a will before retirement.
In the question, 'will' is used as a noun meaning determination or mental resolve.
In Option 1, 'will' is also a noun but with a completely different meaning — a legal document (testament) that states how a person's possessions should be distributed after death. Same spelling and pronunciation, different meaning = homonym.
Why others are wrong:
Option 2 ( willful ): An adjective derived from 'will' — a different word form, not a homonym.
Option 3 (willing): An adjective — a different word form.
Option 4 (willpower): A compound noun — a different word.
