Step-by-step solution for: Homonyms (Homophones): 4th Grade Reading Skills | Printable Skills ...
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Homonyms" that asks students to choose the correct homonym (words that sound the same but have different meanings) for each sentence. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll solve the problem based on the text you provided and explain the reasoning.
Here’s the completed worksheet with explanations:
---
Instructions: Read the sentences below. Choose the word that should be used in the sentence.
1. The [hare / hair] hopped into the woods.
✔ Answer: hare
🔍 *Explanation:* "Hare" is an animal that hops. "Hair" is body part. The sentence describes movement into the woods, so "hare" fits.
2. The pumpkin lady cut the pumpkin in [two / too / to].
✔ Answer: two
🔍 *Explanation:* "Two" refers to the number of pieces. "Too" means "also," and "to" is a preposition — neither makes sense here.
3. Mitra went into the attic and [sewed / saw] was dusty.
✔ Answer: saw
🔍 *Explanation:* She *saw* (perceived with eyes) that it was dusty. "Sewed" means stitched, which doesn’t fit context.
4. The [deer / dear] stood by the pond drinking the water.
✔ Answer: deer
🔍 *Explanation:* "Deer" is an animal. "Dear" is an affectionate term or synonym for "dearly." The sentence describes an animal, so "deer" is correct.
5. There was music in the [pair / pear] of the tree.
✔ Answer: pear
🔍 *Explanation:* A "pear" is a fruit that grows on a tree. "Pair" means two items. Music wouldn’t come from a "pair" of something unless specified.
6. Queen Elizabeth was an [hear / heir] to the throne.
✔ Answer: heir
🔍 *Explanation:* "Heir" is someone who inherits a title or position. "Hear" is a verb meaning to listen — doesn't make sense here.
7. The first ingredient into the cake recipe was [flower / flour].
✔ Answer: flour
🔍 *Explanation:* "Flour" is used in baking. "Flower" is a plant — not an ingredient.
8. Suzy walked down the [side / side] swiftly.
✔ Answer: aisle
🔍 *Explanation:* "Aisle" is a path between rows (e.g., in a store or church). "Side" doesn't make sense in this context.
9. Polaris did not [see / sea] a thing for her flowers except water.
✔ Answer: see
🔍 *Explanation:* "See" means to perceive visually. "Sea" is a large body of water — doesn’t fit grammatically.
10. I can said that he is a great because he was so [steel / steal].
✔ Answer: steel
🔍 *Explanation:* This sentence seems slightly off, but likely meant to be: *"I can say that he is a great man because he was so strong (like steel)."* "Steel" is a material; "steal" means to take without permission — doesn't fit.
11. I wonder if she got the letter that [sent / scent] to her.
✔ Answer: sent
🔍 *Explanation:* "Sent" is the past tense of "send." "Scent" is a smell — doesn't make sense here.
12. Buddy the baker had to [kneel / knead] the dough before he baked it.
✔ Answer: knead
🔍 *Explanation:* "Knead" means to work dough with hands. "Kneel" means to bend the knees — not relevant to dough preparation.

2. two
3. saw
4. deer
5. pear
6. heir
