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).

Answer:

B. Direct Object

Explanation:

A direct object receives the action of a transitive verb. Thus, the infinitive verb <em>to swing</em> is undergoes the action of the verb <em>began</em>.

The rest of the options are incorrect. In the sentence given, <em>to swing</em> does not function as a main verb. Besides, a predicate noun or nominative follows the verb <em>to be</em> and gives information about the subject. Finally, the infinitive verb does not follow a preposition.

The correct answer is:

"Brutus explains that he loved Caesar, but loves Rome more. He had to kill Caesar because, although Caesar was a brave man and his friend, Caesar was too ambitious"

This is the best sentence to paraphrase the excerpt from "Julius Caesar", act 3, scene 2 because it stays true to the original meaning while using different words and structures to say it.

The first and last option are not correct because they both use passages from the original extract, and therefore are not paraphrases.

The second option is incorrect as well, because it omits details explained in the original excerpt.
