Guessing the words you are comparing are "plain" and "plains" the correct answer is C. Homophone; the two words are pronounced the same but have different meanings and sometimes different spellings. Because <em>plain</em> and <em>plains</em> are words that sound alike; but they have different meanings as in "<em>plain</em> cream cheese" the word plain means to be pure while the word <em>plains</em> in the part "crossing the plains in Kansas" is referring to the extensive area of Kansas country; lastly they have slightly different spellings as plain and plain<em>s</em>.
Option A. Homograph is wrong because the correct definition is two words are written the same, not pronounced the same.
Option B. Homophone is wrong because the correct definition is two words are pronounced the same, not written the same.
Option D. Homograph is wrong because in this case they are written the same as the <em>bear </em>(the verb to carry) and the <em>bear </em>(the animal). But for <em>plain</em> and <em>plains</em> they are not identical as one has a <em>S.</em>
It should be the last one D.
Answer:
C: Reflexive.
Explanation:
A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun. This means that pronouns replace the noun in a sentence to avoid repetition and to make the sentence seem or sound smoother.
When a pronoun is used to refer to a person doing the action and also is the object of the sentence, then that pronoun used will be reflexive in nature. This means that the pronoun reflects the subject as well as the object refers to the same person. This is easy to identify by the presence or use of "self/ selves" in the suffix of a pronoun.
For example, in the sentence <u>"She ate the whole cake herself"</u>, the pronoun "she" does the action "ate" and then refers back to "herself" which makes the pronoun reflexive in nature.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
