“Altar”

• A. To change
• B. Place of offering
• C. A legal agreement between two parties
• D. A structure used as a boundary marker between properties

Hint:

Spell-check hint: AltAr (with an A) is for Adoration/Worship. AltEr (with an E) is for Edit/Change.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings) are a common source of confusion in English.

• Word 1: Alter (Ends with '-er').

• Word 2: Altar (Ends with '-ar').

Step 1: Distinguishing between the Homophones.
The verb

"Alter" means to change or modify something. The noun

"Altar" refers to a physical structure.

Step 2: Defining the noun "Altar".
An Altar is a raised table or flat surface used in religious rituals. It is specifically known as a

place of offering or sacrifice. It is common in churches, temples, and other places of worship where religious rites are performed. Therefore, option (B) is the accurate description.
