Select the sentence containing the homonym of the highlighted word: The priest lifted the chalice during the Eucharist.
The investor discussed the chalice of currency debasement.
Since the target sentence uses "chalice" to mean a ceremonial drinking cup, the homonym must use the same spelling but with an unrelated, different meaning.
In economics, "chalice of currency debasement" is not a standard idiomatic phrase, but among the options this is the one where "chalice" is used outside its literal cup sense, in a figurative/abstract economic context distinct from a physical drinking vessel, matching the intent of testing the word's alternate application.
The other options describing a forger's silver chalice, a noble's jeweled chalice, and an altar server's golden chalice all use "chalice" in its same literal sense as a drinking vessel, identical to the original sentence, so they do not represent a different usage.
Hence, the answer is The investor discussed the chalice of currency debasement.
