Question

All of these sentences include commonly confused homophones. Which sentence is correct? You put too much sugar on your breakfast serial. My father grows vegetables and flours in his garden. Will someone help me untie the knot in my shoelace? When did the captain set sale on his trip to North America?

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Will someone help me untie the knot in my shoelace?

Step-by-step explanation:

Homophones refer to words or terms that have a similar or identical pronunciation, although they have different meanings and spelling. These words are common in all languages and can be a bit confusing. In the English language, homophones include hear-here, ate-eight, write-right or buy-bye. According to this, the correct sentence is "Will someone help me untie the knot in my shoelace?" because in this case, the word "knot" that means a tangled piece of string or rope has not been confused with its homophone "not" that is used for negation. Also, in other sentences, there is a confusion of homophones such as serial vs. cereal, flours vs flowers, and sale vs. sail.
