Which sentence shows the correct use of a common homophone?

English
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is "I think you left your biology notebook on the bleachers yesterday"

Explanation:

The words "your" and "you're" are homophones because their pronunciation is the same and they are written similarly. However, they have a different meaning because the word "your" shows possession, while the word "you're" (you are) comprises a subject and the verb to be. In this context, the only sentence that is completely correct and uses these homophones correctly is "I think you left your biology notebook on the bleachers yesterday" because in this the word "your" is used to show possession, which matches its meaning.

Why do speakers emphasize particular words and phrases?
Vinvika [58]

Answer: To make the language more memorable

Explanation:

In speech, we often emphasize certain words which carry an important message. This is often done by politicians and professional speakers who deliver their speech in front of a mass of people. In doing so, we are hoping that our audience remembers the speech and the ideas we are trying to convey. By emphasizing our words and phrases, our speech is more persuasive.
