In this set of problems we are going to practice "homonyms." "Homonyms" are words that sound the same, or are spelled the same, but which have different meanings. An example of a "homonym" is "dear and deer." These two words have different meanings, yet sound exactly the same. So, in this analogy "flower" sounds like "flour," which of these words sounds like "allowed?" The correct answer is "aloud." Additionally, "forbidden" means prohibited, not allowed.

"Sear" which means burn and "seer" which means person who can see the future are homonyms because they have different meanings, yet sound the same. So, to solve this analogy you need to figure out which of these words sounds the same as "dough." The correct answer is "doe." To help you, "dough" is either slang for money or a mixture used to make bread and "doe" is a female deer.

"Elicit" means draw out a response from and "illicit" means against the rules, illegal. These two words are "homonyms," so to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these is a homonym of "kernel." The correct answer is "colonel." To help you, a "kernel" is a piece of a nut, a seed, a grain and a "colonel" is a position in the army, a leader of a group of soldiers. Additionally, "illegal" means not legal, against the law.

"Hall" and "haul" (carry, transport) are "homonyms," so to solve this analogy you need to figure out which of these words sounds like "ewe." The correct answer is "you." To help you "ewe" means female sheep.

"Frees" means set free and "freeze" means make frozen. These two words are "homonyms," so to solve this analogy you need to figure out which of these words sounds like "night." The correct answer is "knight." Additionally, a "gnat" is an insect.

"Heal" means make better, make no longer sick and "heel" refers to the back of a foot. These two words are "homonyms," so to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these words sounds the same as "nun." The correct answer is "none." Additionally, "noon" means midday; "monk" and "priest" are two types of religious practitioners; a "convent" is a place where nuns live.

A "lute" is a musical instrument and "loot" is stolen goods. These two words are "homonyms," so to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these words sounds like "plain" (simple, clear, ordinary). The correct answer is "plane." Additionally, "mild" means plain, not intense, simple, basic; "intense" means extreme, not calm; "prosperous" means wealthy and successful; "dynamic" means forceful, energetic, powerful.

"Sail" and "sale" are "homonyms," so to solve this analogy you need to figure out which of these words sounds the same as "patience" (being able to wait for something). The correct answer is "patients" (people being helped at a hospital). Additionally, "virtue" is goodness, morality, whereas "vice" is sin, immorality; "regret" is feeling bad about something you did wrong.

"Teem" means to be full of, to be swarming with. "Team" and "teem" are "homonyms," so to solve this analogy you need to figure out which of these sounds the same as "soar" which means to fly high. The correct answer is "sore" which means in pain, hurting, painful due to overuse. Additionally, all the other answer choices mean sick, unwell, weakened due to illness.

"Scene" (setting, place where something happens) and "seen" are "homonyms," so to solve this analogy you need to figure out which of these words sounds the same as "peak" (summit, highest point of). The correct answer is "peek" which means quickly look at, secretively glance at. Additionally, "mimic" means copy, imitate; "obstacle" means hindrance, object in the way that prevents one from getting to wherever one wants to go.
