Choose the sentence that uses the homonym of the underlined word:
The wind howled through the trees.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Original Sentence: "The wind howled through the trees." In this context, wind (pronounced /wɪnd/) is a noun referring to the natural movement of air.
Option (4): Sentence is "He had to wind the old clock manually." Here, wind (pronounced /waɪnd/) is a verb meaning to turn or twist something.
Other Options: The first three options all use "wind" in the same sense as the original sentence (moving air), so they do not demonstrate the use of a homonym.
Option (4) is the correct answer.
