Question

"Since you have gone off the ________, the _________ sand is likely to damage the car." The words that best fill the blanks in the above sentence are
A. course, coarse
B. course, course
C. coarse, course
D. coarse, coarse

Accepted Answer

Option A (course, coarse) is correct. You went off course (the path) and coarse (rough) sand is damaging the car. This question tests the homophones 'course' (a defined route or path) and 'coarse' (rough in texture). The first blank follows 'gone off the ___', meaning you left the intended route, so 'course' fits. The second blank describes sand that damages a car, implying rough or gritty sand, so 'coarse' fits.
