Correct Answer: blew
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Homonyms are words that sound alike but have different meanings. In this case, the options provided are:
- Blow : This is the base form of the verb, but in this sentence, it doesn't fit grammatically in the context. ("The wind blows so powerfully" is not grammatically correct.)
- Blew : This is the past tense form of the verb "blow". In the context of the sentence, it fits grammatically and indicates the action that the wind performed in the past.
- Blues : This refers to a style of music or a feeling of sadness, but it doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence about the wind and the door closing.
Now, the complete sentence would be: "The wind blew so powerfully that the door closed."
