?Which word?

Do not confuse mettle (courage and determination) and metal (a substance such as iron or gold), which sound the same.

Mettle (साहस और दृढ़ता) और metal (लोहा, सोना जैसी धातु) का उच्चारण एक जैसा है, इसलिए इन्हें confuse न करें।

To be on your mettle means to be ready to do your best because you are being tested.
