Question

which of these word pairs could be homographs? (1 point)
ball, bat
map, tap
their, there
yes, no

Explanation:

Homographs are words that share the same spelling but have different meanings (and sometimes different pronunciations).

• "bat, bat" refers to two distinct meanings: a flying mammal, and a sports equipment used to hit balls, while having identical spelling.
• "map, tap" are different spellings and unrelated in meaning beyond rhyming.
• "their, there" are homophones (same pronunciation, different spelling/meaning), not homographs.
• "yes, no" are unrelated words with different spellings and meanings.

Answer:

bat, bat
