Answer:
As Pete and Malia headed out the door on <u>their</u> way to the convention, they almost forgot the money they would need to get in <u>there</u>.
They were very excited to <u>buy</u> the latest edition of their favorite comic book <u>by</u> their favorite author.
Explanation:
Homophones are words that are pronounced the same way but have different meanings (and sometimes spelling).
In the first sentence, there are two homophones:<em> their </em>and<em> there.</em><em> </em><em>Their</em> is a word used to describe that something <em>belongs to them</em> (Pete and Malia's way - their way). <em>There</em> is the opposite of <em>here</em> and means <em>at that place </em>(get into the convention - get in there).
The second pair of homophones is <em>buy</em> and<em> by</em>. <em>To buy</em> is a verb that means <em>to purchase</em> something. <em>By</em> is a preposition used to state who is performing a certain action (a comic book by their favorite author - their favorite author wrote the book they are buying).

The term <em>clause</em><em> </em>refers to a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. The subject is what the sentence is about, while the predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.
In order to find the correct answer, we need to look for a subject and a predicate within the underlined groups of words.
In the first example, the predicate is missing.
In the second, it's the subject that is missing.
In the third example, neither the subject nor the predicate is underlined.
In the fourth example, they are both present. <em>I</em> is the subject, and <em>sat</em> is the predicate. That's why the fourth sentence is the correct answer.
True because singular means one
Raga is a piece of Indian music that is rhythmic and used spontaneously.
The use of repetition in the line "I sing a mad raga/I sing a mad raga/a glad raga...is being used as a sort of call to arms, a mantra, a chant for equality in our society. It is something that people could copy and easily remember.
The use of reception of the word is also a form of anaphora. Used before each new idea, it makes the idea itself stand out. raga of yellow/raga of mellow/raga of new/raga of old/raga of blue/raga of gold.
