Question

Complete the following sentence.

Weather and _____ are homophones.

A) loaves
B) mows
C) garments
D) whether

Answer 1

The word 'whether' is the missing word.

Homophones are words which sound the same but look and are spelt differently.

eg. two, too, to
pear, pair
whole, hole
right, write
etc.

Answer 2

Answer: The right answer is the D) whether.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can also be added that homophone words (from the Greek homós, which means "the same," and phōnḗ, which means "sound" or "voice") are those that have the same sound when they are pronounced, but they have different meanings and are often spelt differently. Other examples are "see" and "sea," "here" and "hear," and "by," "bye," and "buy." Some words in English have four, five, and up to seven homophones.
