The scarecrow won an award because he was outstanding in his field, “what word is being used for its multiple meanings? Win, field. Scarecrow, award

Answer 1

In the phrase "the scarecrow won an award because he was outstanding in his field," the word with multiple meanings is "field."

1. In one sense, "field" refers to a physical area of land, such as a field where crops grow or where a scarecrow might be found.
2. In another sense, "field" can refer to an area of expertise or profession, suggesting that the scarecrow is distinguished in a particular domain or subject.

The pun arises from the double meaning of "outstanding in his field," which plays on both the literal and figurative interpretations of "field."
