A: The words "overtake" and "surpass" both imply going beyond or exceeding a certain limit or expectation. However, they have slight differences in their usage. Here are example sentences to illustrate their distinctions:

1. "Overtake":
- "Overtake" typically refers to the act of moving past or going ahead of someone or something, often in a literal or physical sense.
- Example: "The athlete made a powerful sprint to overtake his competitors and win the race."

2. "Surpass":
- "Surpass" generally means to exceed or go beyond a particular standard, level, or expectation, often in terms of achievement or performance.
- Example: "Her exceptional talent and dedication allowed her to surpass everyone's expectations and become a renowned pianist."
