1 ache: This is the right answer. An "ache" is a dull, continuous pain. It is usually used to describe pain felt in muscles, joints and bones, after strenuous exercise, for example. Note that we use "ache" to describe many different kinds of pain: headaches, stomach aches, etc.
2 stiff: The word "stiff" means rigid or difficult to bend. When one has a sore neck it is "tense", rigid or "stiff".
3 weed: A "weed" is a wild plant that grows where it isn't wanted. They often take over the ground around other plants and kill them. The act of removing these plants is called "weeding".
4 ground: The "ground" refers to the solid surface of earth. In this advertisement, the Supertrowel extends to reach the weeds "on the ground".
