"Going by the _________ that many hands make light work, the school _______ involved all the students in the task."

The words that best fill the blanks in the above sentence are

  • A.principle, principal
  • B.principal, principle
  • C.principle, principle
  • D.principal, principal

Answer: A

The pair is principle, principal.

"Many hands make light work" is a rule or maxim, and the noun for that is a principle. The person who heads a school is its principal.

The two words sound alike, which is the trap. "Principal, principle" swaps them; "principle, principle" would make the school's head a rule, and "principal, principal" would make the maxim a person (or a sum of money).
