Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In sentence i, 'cheque' is the correct spelling for a written order to a bank to pay money. 'Check' is American English, but 'cheque' is more widely used. In sentence ii, 'pair' refers to two matching items. 'Pare' means to trim or cut, which doesn't fit the context of shoes.
