Question

All of these sentences include commonly confused homophones. Which sentence is correct? Select one: a. Should these clothes be dry cleaned? b. Our house was built on the sight of an old factory. c. Whose scheduled to work at the restaurant tonight? d. Kim was upset because everyone had a job accept her.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sentence A is correct

Explanation:

Let’s begin by looking at Sentences B-D:

B. our house was built on the sight of an old factory.

This sentence uses the word “sight” incorrectly. The word should be site, as in “location.”

C. Whose scheduled to work at the restaurant tonight?

This sentence uses the word “whose” incorrectly. The word should be who’s, as in the contraction of “who is.”

D. Kim was upset because everyone had a job accept her.

This sentence uses the word “accept“ incorrectly. The word should be except, as in “excluding.”

That leaves Sentence A, which uses all words (including the homophone “clothes”) correctly.

I hope this helps!
