    A Twist Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Bend Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Reach Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Pay Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All can fit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Bend - Force or be forced to submit. Bend - A curve in a road, river, path, or racing circuit. 'Bend' can fit in the first sentence to mean 'submit' and in the second sentence to mean 'curve'. 'Twist' can only fit in the second sentence. 'Reach' and 'pay' do not fit in either sentence in their respective contexts. B is the right answer.
