This worksheet helps students practice identifying homographs by matching words like 'bank' and 'watch' to their different meanings.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are matching homographs — words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. Each word in the middle column has two definitions: one on the left and one on the right. We need to draw lines from each word to its correct pair of definitions.

Let’s go word by word:

---

1. park

- Left definition: “a heroic or extraordinary deed” → That doesn’t fit “park”. A park is not a deed.
- Right definition: “a financial establishment that invests money...” → No, that’s a bank.
Wait — actually, let’s look again.

Actually, “park” can mean:
- An area of land for recreation (like a playground or green space) → matches “an area of land set aside for environment preservation or recreation”
- Also, “to leave a vehicle somewhere” → like “I’ll park my car here”

But looking at the options:

Left side:
→ “a breach of law or rule; an illegal act” — no
→ “shaped like a circle or sphere” — no
→ “soft, fluffy immature feathers...” — no
→ “look at or observe attentively...” — that’s “watch” maybe?
→ “rubbish, garbage, junk” — no
→ “an elevation, erring ground” — no
→ “a heroic or extraordinary deed” — no

Right side:
→ “to decline a request or demand” — that’s “refuse”
→ “use a situation in an unfair way” — “abuse”? Not listed
→ “the state of being offended...” — “offense”
→ “to bring a vehicle to a halt” — YES! That’s “park” as in parking a car
→ “an act of using each of a number of people or places” — no
→ “a small timepiece worn typically on a strap...” — watch
→ “forward or in a lower place or position” — down
→ “a financial establishment...” — bank

So “park” should connect to:
→ “an area of land set aside for environment preservation or recreation” (left)
→ “to bring a vehicle to a halt” (right)

Wait — but in the worksheet, “park” is in the middle, and we must match it to ONE left and ONE right definition.

Looking again at the layout:

The left column has 8 definitions.
The middle column has 8 words: park, expel, down, bank, offense, refuse, round, watch
The right column has 8 definitions.

Each word in the middle connects to one definition on the left and one on the right.

Let’s list all words and find their pairs.

---

Word: park

Possible meanings:
- Noun: a public green area → matches “an area of land set aside for environment preservation or recreation” (left)
- Verb: to stop a car → matches “to bring a vehicle to a halt” (right)

✔ So:
park ←→ “an area of land set aside for environment preservation or recreation” (left)
park ←→ “to bring a vehicle to a halt” (right)

---

Word: expel

Meanings:
- To force someone out → “forward or in a lower place or position”? No.
Wait — “expel” means to kick out, eject.

Look at right column:
“forward or in a lower place or position” — that’s “down”
“to decline a request” — refuse
“to bring a vehicle to a halt” — park
“use a situation unfairly” — abuse? Not there
“state of being offended” — offense
“small timepiece” — watch
“financial establishment” — bank
“act of using each of a number...” — maybe “round”? Like rounds of drinks?

Wait — left column:
“a breach of law or rule; an illegal act” — offense?
“shaped like a circle” — round
“soft fluffy feathers” — down (as in bird down)
“look at attentively” — watch
“rubbish” — trash? Not matching
“elevation, erring ground” — maybe “bank” as in river bank?
“heroic deed” — feat? Not matching

Actually, let’s try matching based on common homograph pairs.

Common homographs:

- bank:
- Financial institution → “a financial establishment that invests money...” (right)
- Side of a river → “an elevation, erring ground” (left) — yes, river bank is raised land beside water

- down:
- Direction: lower place → “forward or in a lower place or position” (right)
- Soft feathers → “soft, fluffy immature feathers which grow on young birds” (left) — yes, “down” feathers

- watch:
- To look at → “look at or observe attentively, typically over a period of time” (left)
- Timepiece → “a small timepiece worn typically on a strap...” (right)

- round:
- Shaped like a circle → “shaped like a circle or sphere” (left)
- A turn or sequence → “an act of using each of a number of people or places” — like “taking turns” or “rounds” in a game or hospital visits → yes

- offense:
- A crime or breach → “a breach of law or rule; an illegal act” (left)
- Feeling hurt → “the state of being offended or displeased; anger, displeasure” (right)

- refuse:
- To say no → “to decline a request or demand” (right)
- Trash → “rubbish, garbage, junk” (left) — yes! “Refuse” pronounced re-FUSE vs REF-use

- expel:
- To force out → what’s left?
Left: only “a heroic or extraordinary deed” remains? No, that doesn’t fit.
Wait — let’s list what’s left after others are matched.

Let me make a table:

Words: park, expel, down, bank, offense, refuse, round, watch

Left definitions:
1. a heroic or extraordinary deed → ?
2. an elevation, erring ground → bank (river bank)
3. rubbish, garbage, junk → refuse (trash)
4. look at or observe attentively... → watch
5. soft, fluffy immature feathers... → down
6. a breach of law or rule... → offense
7. an area of land set aside... → park
8. shaped like a circle or sphere → round

Right definitions:
A. a financial establishment... → bank
B. forward or in a lower place... → down
C. a small timepiece... → watch
D. an act of using each of a number... → round (as in rounds)
E. to decline a request... → refuse
F. to bring a vehicle to a halt → park
G. use a situation in an unfair way → ???
H. the state of being offended... → offense

Now, what about “expel”? And what’s left?

Left definition #1: “a heroic or extraordinary deed” — that’s “feat”, but not in word list. Wait — maybe I misassigned.

Perhaps “expel” matches with something else.

Another meaning of “expel” is to eject, but none of the right definitions say that.

Wait — right definition G: “use a situation in an unfair way” — that’s “exploit”, not expel.

Maybe I made a mistake.

Let’s check “offense” — we have:

Left: “a breach of law or rule” → offense (crime)
Right: “state of being offended” → offense (feeling)

That works.

“refuse”:
Left: “rubbish” → refuse (noun, trash)
Right: “to decline” → refuse (verb)

Good.

“round”:
Left: “shaped like a circle” → round
Right: “an act of using each of a number...” → like “doing rounds” or “a round of applause” — yes

“watch”:
Left: “look at attentively”
Right: “timepiece”

“down”:
Left: “soft feathers”
Right: “lower place”

“bank”:
Left: “elevation, erring ground” — river bank
Right: “financial establishment”

“park”:
Left: “area of land for recreation”
Right: “bring vehicle to halt”

Now left with “expel” and left definition #1: “a heroic or extraordinary deed”

That doesn’t fit “expel”. Expel means to kick out.

Unless... is there a typo? Or perhaps I missed something.

Wait — maybe “expel” is not supposed to be matched to that. Let’s see the remaining right definition: G. “use a situation in an unfair way” — that’s “exploit”, not expel.

Perhaps “expel” is meant to be matched with “forward or in a lower place” — but that’s “down”.

I think there might be a mismatch, but let’s think differently.

Another possibility: “expel” could be confused, but in standard homographs, “expel” isn't typically paired with those.

Wait — perhaps the left definition “a heroic or extraordinary deed” is for “feat”, but it's not in the word list. The words are given: park, expel, down, bank, offense, refuse, round, watch.

Maybe “expel” is a distractor, but no, all must be matched.

Let’s read the left definition again: “a heroic or extraordinary deed” — that’s “exploit” as a noun! But the word is “expel”, not “exploit”.

Oh! Perhaps it's a trick, or maybe I have a error.

Another idea: in some contexts, "expel" can mean to emit, but still not matching.

Let’s list all assignments so far:

- park: left7, rightF
- down: left5, rightB
- bank: left2, rightA
- offense: left6, rightH
- refuse: left3, rightE
- round: left8, rightD
- watch: left4, rightC

Left with: expel and left1 ("a heroic or extraordinary deed") and rightG ("use a situation in an unfair way")

Neither fits "expel".

Unless... is "expel" supposed to be "exploit"? But the word is written as "expel".

Perhaps in this worksheet, "expel" is matched incorrectly, but that can't be.

Let’s double-check the image description.

In the user's message, the middle column is: park, expel, down, bank, offense, refuse, round, watch

And left definitions include "a heroic or extraordinary deed" — which is typically "exploit", not "expel".

But "exploit" is not in the word list.

Perhaps it's a mistake, or perhaps in this context, we have to choose the best fit.

Another thought: "expel" can mean to discharge, but still not matching.

Let’s consider that "use a situation in an unfair way" might be for "exploit", but since "exploit" isn't there, and "expel" is close in spelling, perhaps it's a typo, and it's meant to be "exploit".

But the word is clearly "expel" in the text.

Perhaps for "expel", the intended match is:

Left: "a heroic or extraordinary deed" — no

Right: "use a situation in an unfair way" — no

I think there might be an error, but let's assume that "expel" is matched to the remaining ones.

Perhaps "expel" is not a homograph in this list, but it is listed.

Let’s search for homographs online quickly in mind.

Standard homographs for grade 5:

- bow (ribbon / bend)
- tear (cry / rip)
- etc.

For "expel", it's not commonly used as a homograph with two very different meanings like the others.

Perhaps in this worksheet, "expel" is meant to be matched with "forward or in a lower place" — but that's "down".

I recall that "down" can also mean to drink quickly, but not relevant.

Another idea: "expel" might be confused with "excel", but "excel" means to do well, which could match "a heroic or extraordinary deed" — but the word is "expel", not "excel".

This is problematic.

Perhaps the left definition "a heroic or extraordinary deed" is for "feat", but it's not in the list.

Let’s count the definitions.

There are 8 words and 8 left definitions, 8 right definitions.

After assigning 7, we have one left for expel.

Left definition 1: "a heroic or extraordinary deed"

Right definition G: "use a situation in an unfair way"

Neither fits "expel".

Unless "expel" has a meaning I'm missing.

Upon second thought, "expel" can mean to emit or send out, but still not matching.

Perhaps in the context of the worksheet, "expel" is matched to "rubbish" or something, but "refuse" is already matched to rubbish.

I think there might be a mistake in the worksheet or in my reasoning.

Let’s try a different approach. Let's list the correct matches based on standard knowledge:

- bank:
- Left: "an elevation, erring ground" (river bank)
- Right: "a financial establishment..."

- down:
- Left: "soft, fluffy immature feathers..." (down feathers)
- Right: "forward or in a lower place or position"

- watch:
- Left: "look at or observe attentively..."
- Right: "a small timepiece worn typically on a strap..."

- round:
- Left: "shaped like a circle or sphere"
- Right: "an act of using each of a number of people or places" (e.g., taking rounds)

- offense:
- Left: "a breach of law or rule; an illegal act"
- Right: "the state of being offended or displeased; anger, displeasure"

- refuse:
- Left: "rubbish, garbage, junk" (pronounced REF-use)
- Right: "to decline a request or demand" (pronounced re-FUSE)

- park:
- Left: "an area of land set aside for environment preservation or recreation"
- Right: "to bring a vehicle to a halt"

Then for expel, the only left definition left is "a heroic or extraordinary deed", and right is "use a situation in an unfair way".

Since "expel" doesn't fit either, but "exploit" would fit "use a situation in an unfair way", and "exploit" as a noun can mean "a heroic deed", so perhaps it's a typo, and it's meant to be "exploit".

Given that, and since this is a grade 5 worksheet, likely "expel" is a mistake, and it should be "exploit".

But the word is written as "expel", so we have to work with it.

Perhaps in some dialects, but I think for the sake of completing the task, we'll assign:

expel ←→ "a heroic or extraordinary deed" (left) — even though it's wrong, or

expel ←→ "use a situation in an unfair way" (right) — also wrong.

Another possibility: "expel" can mean to graduate or be dismissed, but not matching.

I recall that "expel" is not typically a homograph with two distinct meanings like the others. The other words are classic homographs.

Perhaps "expel" is included by mistake, but we must match it.

Let’s look back at the user's text:

" a heroic or extraordinary deed" — this is likely for "exploit", but since "exploit" isn't there, and "expel" is close, perhaps it's intended.

Maybe "expel" is matched to "forward or in a lower place" — but that's "down".

I think the best course is to assume that "expel" is meant to be "exploit", and match it accordingly.

So:

- exploit (but written as expel):
- Left: "a heroic or extraordinary deed" (noun form)
- Right: "use a situation in an unfair way" (verb form)

Even though the word is "expel", for the purpose of this exercise, we'll go with that.

Otherwise, the worksheet has an error.

So final matches:

- park: left "an area of land set aside...", right "to bring a vehicle to a halt"
- expel: left "a heroic or extraordinary deed", right "use a situation in an unfair way" [assuming it's exploit]
- down: left "soft, fluffy immature feathers...", right "forward or in a lower place or position"
- bank: left "an elevation, erring ground", right "a financial establishment..."
- offense: left "a breach of law or rule...", right "the state of being offended..."
- refuse: left "rubbish, garbage, junk", right "to decline a request or demand"
- round: left "shaped like a circle or sphere", right "an act of using each of a number..."
- watch: left "look at or observe attentively...", right "a small timepiece..."

Now, to present the answer, we need to list the pairs.

Since the instruction is to "draw lines", but in text, we can list which left and right definition goes with each word.

So for the final answer, we can write:

park:
- Left: an area of land set aside for environment preservation or recreation
- Right: to bring a vehicle to a halt

expel:
- Left: a heroic or extraordinary deed
- Right: use a situation in an unfair or selfish way

down:
- Left: soft, fluffy immature feathers which grow on young birds
- Right: forward or in a lower place or position

bank:
- Left: an elevation, erring ground
- Right: a financial establishment that invests money deposited by customers, pays it out when required

offense:
- Left: a breach of law or rule; an illegal act
- Right: the state of being offended or displeased; anger, displeasure

refuse:
- Left: rubbish, garbage, junk
- Right: to decline a request or demand

round:
- Left: shaped like a circle or sphere
- Right: an act of using each of a number of people or places

watch:
- Left: look at or observe attentively, typically over a period of time
- Right: a small timepiece worn typically on a strap on one's wrist

Note: For "expel", it's likely a typo and should be "exploit", but as per the given word, we've matched it to the remaining definitions.

Final Answer:

park → "an area of land set aside for environment preservation or recreation" and "to bring a vehicle to a halt"
expel → "a heroic or extraordinary deed" and "use a situation in an unfair or selfish way"
down → "soft, fluffy immature feathers which grow on young birds" and "forward or in a lower place or position"
bank → "an elevation, erring ground" and "a financial establishment that invests money deposited by customers, pays it out when required"
offense → "a breach of law or rule; an illegal act" and "the state of being offended or displeased; anger, displeasure"
refuse → "rubbish, garbage, junk" and "to decline a request or demand"
round → "shaped like a circle or sphere" and "an act of using each of a number of people or places"
watch → "look at or observe attentively, typically over a period of time" and "a small timepiece worn typically on a strap on one's wrist"
