Question : Name a single letter, which can be deleted from the body of the following words to form entirely new words?
HOST POST COST LOST STOP
Option 1: O
Option 2: P
Option 3: T
Option 4: S
Correct Answer: S
Solution : Given: HOST POST COST LOST STOP
Here,
If we remove the letter S from each of the words, we get:
HOST becomes
HOT
POST becomes
POT
COST becomes
COT
LOST becomes
LOT
STOP becomes
TOP
These are entirely new words.
Certainly, here are the meanings of the new words:
HOT : Hot refers to a high temperature or something heated.
POT : A pot is a container, often used for cooking or holding plants.
COT : A cot is a portable bed, typically used for camping or as a temporary sleeping arrangement.
LOT : A lot can refer to a piece of land or a large quantity or group of things.
TOP : Top can mean the highest point or the uppermost part of something.
Hence, fourth option is correct.
