My daughter tells me that it is fashionable to wear jeans that are very _______ around the waist.

  1. lose

  2. loose

  3. either a or b

  4. both a and b
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct word is 'loose' (not tight), which describes jeans that fit loosely around the waist. This is testing the commonly confused homophones 'lose' (verb: to misplace or be deprived of) vs 'loose' (adjective: not tight or securely fastened). 'Lose' is a verb and cannot be used to describe jeans.
