Select the sentence containing the homonym of the highlighted word:
The cobbler replaced the rubber sole with a leather one.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Correct Answer: He has sole responsibility for the outcome.
Explanation
• Homonyms are words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but entirely different meanings.
• In the given sentence, sole is a noun referring to the underside of footwear.
• In "He has sole responsibility for the outcome," sole functions as an adjective meaning single, unique, or exclusive.
• All other options use sole in the exact same sense as footwear, making them the same meaning rather than a distinct homonym.
