<span><span>Yes, the word "sand" is indeed a homograph. Homographs are defined as words (usually pairs) having the same spelling. They aren’t necessarily pronounced the same. In fact some words completely change their meaning when there is a shift in the pronunciation. But they should always be used in the proper context, since they will have different meanings. In this case, "sand" is a homograph since it can be used either "put or sprinkle sand", "polish using a sandpaper", or "a granular substance formed from </span>soil erosion". </span>

Homographs are words that are spelled the same but are pronounced differently and have different meanings. Sand can mean a grainy substance or to smooth something.

DiKsa [7]

Answer: a) The speaker declares that his beloved’s loveliness will live on forever through his poetry, unlike the short-lived summer season.

Explanation:

Everything will eventually die with time. Even the sun is not spared death with time. That is the function of time, to eventually kill everything and leave it in Death's shade.

This is what William Shakespeare speaks of in this poem. He infers that summer will fade with time and so will her beauty but that he has found a way to circumvent time by writing of her beauty in a poem. And for as long as people can read, her beauty will never be killed by time for it will last forever.
