The correct answer is: sounds.

A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. In other words, homophones have the same sound. There may also be a difference in spelling. The term homophones applies also to phrases, letters or groups of letters. Some examples of homophones in English are : add-ad, mail-male, sea-see, team-teem.

Writers should always check to make sure their homophones are used accurately because if confused, they can totally change the meaning of the written sentence and its significance.

Read the third stanza of "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls."
Ksenya-84 [330]

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born on February 27, 1807 and died on March 24, 1882. He was an American poet and educator whose works include "Paul Revere's Ride", The Song of Hiawatha, and Evangeline. He was also the first American to translate Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy and was one of the four Fireside Poets from New England.

“The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes a coastal scene. The tide rises, and the tide falls. Its twilight, a bird is calling, and a traveller is leaving the shore, heading for a near town. Now it's dark, the sea is shouting, and the waves erase the traveller's footprints from the shore. Despite this disconsolate perspective, the dawn does come again. There are signs of life everywhere. Horses are ready and raising to go; a hostler is calling out. Sure, the traveller will never return to the shore because he's dead, but the tide rises again, and then… well, the tide falls.

The statement that best describes the purpose of the word “nevermore” is:

C) The word helps create a more dramatic, resolute tone.
