Complete the sentences by selecting the correct homophones. As Pete and Malia headed out the door on way to the convention, they
Yuliya22 [10]

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).

Faustus turns invisible and plays pranks on the Pope. If you could turn invisible for a day, what would you seek to change about
Anna11 [10]

If I could turn invisible for a day like Faustus does, I would like to use this power in order to gain more money.

This would happen in the following way. I would go to a bank and take money without anyone seeing me and the next day I would be rich. As I will have taken the money from the bank, like it were legal, no one would notice my fraud. I would choose to pursue more money and not power or fame, because I believe that for a rich person it is easier to pursue power or fame.
