Re: find

when the Context is Really Narrow....!
Obviousness Increases a Lot!

if i ask u....
fill in the blanks with letters of English alphabet

1. a flower------>    R O _ E

2. a country----->   R O _ E

3. an object------>  R O _ E


different contexts and different answers!
Rather... the Obvious Answers!!!!
