Question

Rearrange the letters given below to form the name of a weapon: REPSA

1. A. parse
2. B. spear (Correct answer)
3. C. spare
4. D. esper

Correct Answer

Option B — spear

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is spear.

Key Points

• The letters R, E, P, S, A rearrange into SPEAR — a long-shafted thrusting or throwing weapon, fitting the 'weapon' requirement exactly.
• The distractors are the same anagram family: 'parse' (to analyse), 'spare' (extra) and 'esper' are real or plausible words but not weapons.
• In anagram questions, let the required category (weapon, animal, city…) filter the candidates instead of stopping at the first valid word.
