“When she fell down the _______, she received many _______ but little help.”
The words that best fill the blanks in the above sentence are
Answer: A
The words are stairs, stares.
The two blanks are homophones. You fall down a flight of stairs (steps), and people looking at you without helping give you stares (fixed looks). The sentence contrasts the attention she got, many stares, with the help she did not get.
'stairs, stairs' makes her receive steps, 'stares, stairs' has her fall down looks, and 'stares, stares' does both wrongly.
