which word has both of the following meanings? an area of land surrounded by four streets in a city. an obstruction of an opponents play in sports. a. bend b. block c. corner d. prevent

Prevent would not work as neither definition defines the word. Corner is the same way, as a corner would only have two sides of streets surrounding it, not four, and it is not an obstruction (blockage) play in sports. Bend is almost like a corner, and again, is not an obstruction. Block is the only word that can be defined by both of these definitions. (City block, walk a block, the football player blocked the kick, etc.)
