View worked solution
Answer: D
To choose the correct pair of homophones, let us understand the meanings of the words:
- Fare (noun): The money paid for a journey on public transport (e.g., bus fare, train fare).
- Fair (adjective): Reasonable, just, or equitable.
Applying these definitions to the sentence:
- The first blank requires a noun representing a cost or price: "The fare is too high..."
- The second blank requires an adjective meaning reasonable or just: "...for it to be considered fair."
Thus, the complete sentence is: "The fare is too high for it to be considered fair."
Therefore, the correct option is D.
