You get a in train while travelling.

1. A. bridle
2. B. birth
3. C. canon
4. D. berth (Correct answer)

Correct Answer

Option D — berth

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is berth.

Key Points

• A berth is a sleeping place on a train or ship — the word required here.
• Its homophone birth means being born, and is the intended trap.
• Bridle is a horse's headgear, and canon a law or principle.

Additional Information

• Indian Railways berth types worth knowing: Lower, Middle, Upper, Side Lower and Side Upper.
• Other homophone pairs frequently examined: stationary/stationery, principal/principle, complement/compliment, accept/except, advice/advise, cite/site/sight.
• Note also cannon with two n's, meaning a large gun — distinct from canon.
