A Correct answer
Explanation

Crevice means a narrow opening and crevasse means deep crack. The correct option will be crevice as the sentence specifies between two stones. Crevasse is a crack in a glacier/dam, etc. Blue is a colour and blew is to move with force. Hence, the correct option is blue. Cast refers to the actors taking part in a play, film or other production and caste refers to each of the hereditary classes of Hindu society, distinguished by relative degrees of ritual purity or pollution and of social status. Deer is an animal and dear means beloved, so children are always dear.
