Find the word that fits both sentences.
I. A large crowd was ________ outside the stadium.
II. The women were ________ firewood in the forest.
Answer: D
Correct answer: gathering
Gathering covers both senses: people coming together in one place, and the collecting of scattered things. Swarming suits the crowd but not the firewood, and “collection” is a noun and cannot fill either blank.

I.Saurabh was going to the library when he met me.
II. The newspapers carried the news about the murder with a large caption.
Answer: B
Correct answer: heading
Head supplies both a verb and a noun.
Starting and venturing describe the journey but not the caption, and prefixing describes what is placed before a text but never a person’s movement.

I.She was sitting under the shadow of the tree.
II. The customer wanted another colour of the paint on the kitchen wall of his house.
Answer: D
Correct answer: shade
Tint fits the paint alone, cloud and fade fit neither. Note that the first sentence says shadow, and the word that covers both senses is the related but distinct shade.

I.Students started picking up their books when the bell rang.
II. There was a huge crowd at the Airport waiting for the President.

I.The management did not find her suitable for the job of a receptionist.
II.Kanak failed to arrange the parts of the machine properly.
Answer: A
Correct answer: fit
Fit works as an adjective in the first sentence and as a verb in the second, which is what a double-synonym question is testing.
Adjust suits the machine but not the candidate; harness and harbour suit neither.

II. There was a substantial rise in the value of money with the sharp de-escalation of prices.
