Feedback

The word bank is ambiguous because it can mean a financial institution (where people save money) or the land beside a river. The context decides which meaning fits.

Bat has two meanings: a nocturnal flying animal, or an object used in baseball or cricket. The sentence is unclear, so both interpretations are possible.

The word coach can refer to a person who trains others (like in sports), or a long-distance bus. Both are correct meanings depending on context.

The word bear may mean to tolerate or endure (verb) or a large wild animal (noun). The word form changes the meaning completely!

Match can mean a small stick used to make fire, or a contest or suitable partner (like in games or relationships). Context helps identify which one is meant.
