Answer:

The correct answer to this question is that none of these pairs are considered homonyms; they are known grammatically as homophones, and these terms tend to be confused because the two terms have the same prefixes, but in truth they are different.

Homonyms are literally words that are spelled identically, and have the same sounds, but their definition is different. An example of this is the word "check". This one word, spelled exactly the same, and with the same sound, has many different definitions and uses. Thus, it is a homonym.

Homophones, which are the case of these choice pairs, are words whose sound is the same, but they are spelled differently and their meaning is different. If we are talking about homophones, then, the correct pairs that would be homophones, these would be: concern;discern, mode;lode and way;weight. They all home similar sounds, but their spelling and meaning are different.

What causes Macbeth to realize that he has been misled by the prophecies? Choose two options.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

c. the revelation of how Macduff was born

d. the news that soldiers carrying boughs from Birnam Wood are approaching

Explanation:

Shakespeare's famous play, <em>Macbeth</em>, is a story about the Scottish general,  his attempt to become a king and preserve the position. Macbeth is told by the three witches that no man born of woman will be able to harm him, as well as that he is safe until Birnam wood starts moving. Macbeth believes in what they say, ensured that his position as a king could not be compromised. However, towards the end of the play, Malcolm and his army are approaching the castle, camouflaged with the trees from the forest, and Macbeth realizes that he has been misled by the witches' prophecy. This becomes even more clear on the battlefield, when he finds out that Macduff was born by Caesarean section - he was not, in fact, "of woman born."
