Correct Answer: pair


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

Pair means two items that are matched or considered together. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that the speaker only ate a pair of apples, indicating two apples.

  • Pier is a structure built over water, typically for docking ships or boats.

  • Pare means to remove the outer covering or skin from something, often in the context of preparing food.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "Yesterday, I ate only a pair of apples for my dinner."
