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"

As Steve said: "So do I."

You're correct! The sentence "He replaced the brake lining" uses a homonym correctly. A homonym is a word that sounds the same but has different meanings. In this case, "brake" and "break" are homonyms. "Brake" refers to a device used for slowing down or stopping a vehicle, while "break" means to cause something to separate into pieces or to halt an activity. In the given sentence, "brake" is used correctly to refer to the component of a vehicle that is being replaced.

To find the correct answer, you can analyze each sentence and look for words that sound the same but have different meanings. In sentences A, C, and D, incorrect usage of homonyms can be observed. Only sentence B uses the homonym "brake" correctly, making it the correct answer.
