Problem 9 - Entrance Test

In the following sentence, which word is used incorrectly? 'The principal principal of the school addressed the students during the assembly.'

Correct: A

The first 'principal' should be 'principle' (a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behaviour or for a chain of reasoning). The second 'principal' is used correctly (the head of a school).
