Question 15 • English III

Read the sentence. I coveted the [WOL] of jeans I saw in the store window. Determine the correct homophone.

Answer
A
pared
B
pare
C
pear
D
pair

Explanation

The sentence needs a word meaning two things that go together. A pair of jeans is one set of pants, so “pair” fits: “I coveted the pair of jeans I saw in the store window.” “Pear” is a fruit, while “pare” and “pared” mean to trim or peel.
