One advantage of unsystematic spelling is that it enables us to distinguish the written forms of homophones from one another. Wh

Oxana [17]3 years ago

Homophones are words that have exactly the same sound (pronunciation) but different meanings and (usually) spelling.

For example, the following two words have the same sound, but different meanings and spelling:

hour 

our 


Usually, homophones are in groups of two (our, hour), but occasionally they can be in groups of three (to, too, two) or even more. If we take our bear example, we can add another word to the group:

bear (noun: large, heavy animal with thick fur)
bear (verb: tolerate, endure)
bare (adjective: naked, without clothes)

1. Explain the meaning of the Hunger Games.
ELEN [110]

1.)     The Hunger Games were created to serve as a form of punishment for the 13 districts of Panem after they tried to revolt against the Capitol. The Hunger Games are an annual event. Every year, a male and a female between the ages of 12-18 are selected from each district in a process called "the Reaping". The selected pair are then taken to the Capitol to prepare for the battle that will take place in just 3 days. After 3 days, all the contests are placed in an arena, where they will fight to the death. The original rules state that one person will remain alive, although, *SPOILER* in Peeta and Katniss' case, two victors were allowed to emerge.

2.)     In Mockingjay, the third book, after Snow is slain and the Capitol's tyranny is brought down, a decision is made to discontinue the Hunger Games, as they were cruel and inhumane
