Question

Choose the most appropriate option, which correctly describes the meaning of below mentioned word: -
“Stationary”

• A. Writing material
• B. Not moving
• C. Temporary
• D. Continuously changing positions

Hint:

Use this memory trick: StationARY is like a pARKed car (both have 'ar'). StationERY is for papER and pEN (all have 'e').

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the homophone pair.
"Stationary" and "Stationery" sound identical but mean completely different things; confusing them is one of the most common spelling mistakes in English.
Step 2: Use the memory trick to tell them apart.
"StationEry" has an E - think of E for Envelope and pEn (writing materials); "StationAry" has an A - think of A for At a standstill, fixed in place.
Step 3: Apply to the question and confirm.
The word asked about is "Stationary" (with an A), which means not moving, fixed in position; the correct answer is "not moving."
\[ \boxed{\text{Not moving}} \]
