Question 35 • Language Arts 10

Which homophones correctly complete the sentence? The students were __________ that an accomplished scientist always _____ over the results of an experiment.

Answer
A
taut, pours
B
taut, pores
C
taught, pours
D
taught, pores

Explanation

“Taught” means instructed, which fits “The students were taught.” “Pores” means studies or examines closely, as in “pores over the results.” “Pours” means causes liquid to flow, while “taut” means stretched tight, so neither fits the sentence.
