Writing too many things on the ________ while teaching could make the students get _________.
Answer: B
The pair is board / bored: writing too many things on the board could make the students get bored.
The first blank needs a noun for the surface a teacher writes on, which is board. The second follows "get", which here takes an adjective describing a state (get tired, get bored); bored means weary from lack of interest.
The two words are homophones, which is the trap. "Bored / board" swaps them, "board / board" makes the students turn into planks, and "bored / bored" puts an adjective where the noun for the writing surface is needed.
