In which sentence is a homonym used correctly?

A. I would not want to be there mother.

B. He replaced the brake lining.

C. Wherever you go, their you are.

D. He could not break quickly enough to avoid the accident.

I think the answer is "B"

sew dew eye

Pronounce out loud these homonyms: sew dew eye

That's correct! The sentence "He replaced the brake lining" uses a homonym correctly. A homonym is a word that sounds alike but has different meanings. In this case, the homonym is "brake" and "break." In the sentence, "brake" refers to the part of a vehicle that helps it slow down or stop, and "replaced" indicates that this part was changed. Well done!
