Assertion (A) : Homonymy refers to cases where two different lexemes have the same shape.
Reason (R) : 'Bank' is both a building and an area of ground.
Codes :
Answer: B
Both statements are correct. Homonymy refers to cases where two different lexemes have the same shape, that is the same spelling or sound, with unrelated meanings. 'Bank' as a financial building and 'bank' as the ground by a river are the standard example, which supports the assertion as an illustration.
Options A, C and D each call at least one statement wrong, though the definition and the example are both standard in lexical semantics. Option B is the key.
