How to Study This Meaning Group
The English word "bond" covers 2 different Chinese characters — 结 (jiē / jié), 券 (quàn) — and each is its own word with its own feel. These 2 characters do not share a sound — their readings span jiē, jié, quàn — so confirm the pinyin and tone for each one separately. The example sentences further down show how 结 and the others are actually used, so you learn them in context rather than as a single translation.
