Question

which sentence contains a homophone that is used incorrectly? remember, homophones are words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings. my fondest memory is the night my sister won the state music contest. the quarterback of the football team won the most valuable player award. won of the players on the football team was named the most valuable player.

Explanation:

To determine the incorrect homophone use, we analyze each option:

• In the first two options, "won" (past tense of "win") is used correctly to mean achieving victory.
• In the third option, "Won" is incorrect. The intended word should be "One" (a pronoun meaning a single person/thing), as "won" does not fit the context of referring to a player. "One" and "won" are homophones (sound alike, different spellings/meanings).

Answer:

C. Won of the players on the football team was named the Most Valuable Player.
