- To fill in blank no. 1, we need a word that correctly fits the sentence structure. The word should convey the action of signifying or representing something.
- Option 1: meaningful - This adjective describes something that has meaning or significance. It doesn't fit because we need a verb, not an adjective.
- Option 2: meaning - This noun refers to the definition or concept of something. Grammatically, a verb is required here, not a noun.
- Option 3: mean - This verb fits perfectly as it describes the action of signifying something. It correctly completes the phrase: "Different words may mean the same thing."
- Option 4: meant - This is the past tense of the verb "mean." It doesn't fit as the sentence is in the present tense.
