Answer:

↣ Edward was not aloud into the room.

Step-by-step explanation:

To give proper insight, a homonym is defined as words that sound similar to one another (e.g. aloud and allowed), but have different meanings entirely. For instance, the word "aloud" is defined as speaking loudly so it doesn't make sense for Edward to speak loudly into the room. However, "allowed" is defined as being able to do something with permission; therefore, it makes sense to replace the homonym with "allowed" since it means that Edward is not given permission to enter the room.
