Discussion
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks. I thanked my friend who ______ me a 99 ______ worth imported ______ for my birthday.
Answer: C
The right order is sent, cent, scent. The friend 'sent' (past tense of send) a gift, the gift was worth 99 'cent', and it was imported 'scent', meaning perfume. The words are homophones, so only their meanings fix the order. 'Sent' cannot be the object, 'scent' cannot be the verb, and 'cent' cannot be the gift, so the other orders do not make sense. In the sentence 'sent' is the verb, 'cent' the unit of money and 'scent' the perfume, so each of these three words fits only one blank.
