Which word correctly completes the sentence: "The chairs in the room are (stationery, stationary)."

  1. Stationery

  2. Stationary

  3. Both words are correct

  4. Neither word fits

The correct answer is: Stationary

The correct choice is "stationary" because it refers to something that is not moving or is fixed in place. In the context of the sentence, "The chairs in the room are stationary," it indicates that the chairs are unmoving and in a fixed position. "Stationery," on the other hand, refers to writing materials like paper, envelopes, and other office supplies. Since this definition does not apply to the context of chairs, it cannot appropriately complete the sentence. Thus, "stationary" is the accurate term to convey that the chairs do not move, while "stationery" would not make sense in this scenario.
