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.

fomenos
By comparing the freedom movement to the flight of an airplane in MLK's Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech, King recognizes all of the people who made the movement possible. When talking about the flight, he mentions all of the personnel, not just the pilot but all of the ground crew who are rarely seen, that make the flight successful. He is pointing out that the freedom movement couldn't have been successful without all of the people in the background.

dmitriy555 [2]
I am pretty sure about the second excerpt, it directly shows gods' involvement in mortal affairs
Then thus Minerva in Laertes' ear:"Son of Arcesius, reverend warrior, hear!Jove and Jove's daughter first implore in prayer,Then, whirling high, discharge thy lance in air."
And I believe that the next correct answer is
“But, tell me who thou art? and what thy race?
Thy town, thy parents, and thy native place?
Or, if a merchant in pursuit of gain,
What port received thy vessel from the main?
Or comest thou single, or attend thy train?”

Explanation:

The witches told him and Banquo that Banquo's descendants would become kings. Macbeth has called two murderers to kill Banquo and his son Fleance to prevent what the witches told would happen.
