"Push" - To give a Lower Card or Mid Card Performer a Boost into the Next Level (Low - Mid , Mid - Main Event) of the Business because they are seemingly Well liked & "Over" with the Fans. Also done because the Performer sells a lot of Merchandise & makes the Promoter $$$. The Opposite of this would be known as a "Bury" or "Being Buried". Push example - WrestleMania 21. John Cena & Batista both got Respective "Pushes" into the Main Event by Winning the WWE & WHC Respectively. Bury example - MVP had been "Buried" in the Last 6 Months in a 20+ Match Losing Streak Storyline for Backstage "Heat" he Acquired from other Superstars. BQ - "Put Over" - To make another Performer look Good while you Yourself Lose to them or "Do the Job". Also , a Match can be "Put Over" as well as both Competitors all at the Same Time. Put Over example - John cena put Over 3 Different People at 3 Consecutive PPV's: Vengeance NOC - Triple H GAB - JBL Summerslam - Batista Cena Lost Cleanly in all 3 Matches. Put Over a Match example - Hell in a Cell , Badd Blood 1997 , HBK vs. The Undertaker. This was the First HiaC Match , People did not know what to expect , But Throughout the Match & After , The HiaC became Very Popular with the Fans. HBK & Undertaker Put the HiaC Match "Over" , while Putting Each other "Over" at the Same Time.

present (gift) and present (introduce) are homonyms. they are words that sound the same but have different meanings. but your child is only 7 years old, i doubt if they teach about homonyms at that age level. my best guess is that the assignment was only supposed to be defined and your answers are right.

it is an example of a heteronym.
A word that has two meanings and two pronunciations.
other types in this vein are
homophones-words that have the same pronunciation, but different meanings and/or spellings (ie read-the act of reading, and reed- a water plant stalk)
Homonym-words withthe same spelling, but different pronunciations (ie lead-to direct, and lead-a poisonous heavy metal)
Good luck

I'm not sure what you're asking - but the first one (the gift) is a noun - and the next one (to introduce) is a verb. Hope that helps.
