As you grow older, an injury to your _________ may take longer to _________.
Answer: D
The pair is heel / heal.
The first blank needs a part of the body that can be injured: the heel is the back of the foot. The second blank follows 'take longer to', so it needs a verb meaning to recover or mend: heal.
'heel / heel' and 'heal / heal' each use one spelling for both senses, and 'heal / heel' swaps them, putting the verb where the noun belongs. The two words are homophones, which is the whole trap.
