Which sentence uses a homophone incorrectly?

Answer
A
The knight wore shiny steel armor.
B
Having a cold made her voice horse.
C
The infant wakes me up on a regular basis.
D
I was inspired by the beautiful music of the orchestra.

Explanation

The sentence intends to describe her voice as rough or hoarse, so it should use “hoarse,” not “horse,” the animal. “Horse” and “hoarse” are homophones: they sound alike but have different meanings. The other sentences use their words correctly.
