Correct Answer: fall: to come at a particular time or happen in a particular place.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Homonym: It is a word that is spelt and pronounced like another word but that has a different meaning.

Fall: to come at a particular time or happen in a particular place, will be used as we are referring to a specific time that is Friday. This usage is common when discussing dates on a calendar.

Therefore, the homonym, "fall: to come at a particular time or happen in a particular place" will be the correct answer.
