- A'Natural' first means taken from a plant or mineral without treatment, and later means gentle or safe to handle
- B'Dye' first means the colouring matter itself and later means the mat that carries it
- C'Harm' first means bodily injury and later means loss of money
- D'Bark' first means the outer covering of a tree and later means the tree as a whole
Step-by-Step Solution
