Fill in the blanks with the correct option:
The vegetable cutlet made of potatoes and____ broke into small _______.


Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — peas, pieces
Breaking Down the Homophones
This sentence uses homophones—words that sound exactly the same but have different meanings and spellings.

Peas (Noun): Small, round green seeds eaten as a vegetable. Since the sentence mentions "vegetable cutlet" and "potatoes," this is the logical ingredient.

Pieces (Noun): Portions or fragments of something that has been broken or divided.

Peace (Noun): A state of tranquility or the absence of war/conflict. (You wouldn't want "peace" inside a cutlet!)
Answer verified by Quintessence Classes faculty — Karan Nagar, Srinagar.
