Choose the correct pair where both words have different meanings but same spelling?

A. Bear (animal) / Bear (to carry)
B. See / Sea
C. There / Their
D. Right / Write
Correct Answer: A. Bear (animal) / Bear (to carry)

The correct pair where both words have different meanings but the same spelling is Bear (animal) / Bear (to carry). These are examples of homographs: words that are spelled identically but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations. In this case, "bear" as a noun refers to a large mammal, while "bear" as a verb means to support, carry, or endure.

  • See / Sea are homophones; they sound alike but have different spellings and meanings.
  • There / Their are also homophones, sharing pronunciation but differing in spelling and meaning.
  • Right / Write are another pair of homophones, pronounced identically but spelled differently with distinct meanings.

The question specifically asks for words with the *same spelling*, which only the "Bear" pair satisfies among the choices provided.
