To determine if the passage contains a homophone error, we need to understand what homophones are. Homophones are words that are pronounced the same but have different meanings. They can often lead to confusion or errors in writing.
In the given passage, "its" and "it's" are commonly confused homophones. "Its" is the possessive form of the pronoun "it," indicating ownership or possession. On the other hand, "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has."
Now, let's analyze the sentence in question: "Its interesting, though, because he continued to write about his hometown even after he moved to a different country."
In this sentence, the word "its" is used correctly as the possessive form of "it" to show that something (the fact or idea being discussed) belongs to someone or something else. There is no homophone error in this passage.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
No
