I. INTRODUCTION: Homonyms and Multiple Meaning Words


A. Homonyms
Two words are homonyms if they have the same pronunciation but are spelled
differently and have different meanings. They words flour and flower, bare and bear
are homonyms. In some items in part A, one or more incorrect answer choices refer to a
homonyms of a word that is used on the audios as in the example below.
Sample Items
Your will hear:
M1 : Eugene missed a lot of classes last week.
F1 : That’s because he was sick. I think he had the flu.
M2 : What is learned about Eugene?
You will read:
(A) He has been feeling weak for a long time.
(B) Because of sickness, Eugene was absent.

69
(C) Eugene’s eyesight isn’t very strong, so he needs glasses.
(D) Eugene’s flew to another city this week.

The dialog contains the word week, meaning a seven-day period. Choices (A) and
(C) refer to homonym of that word, weak, which means “not strong”. The dialog also
contains the word flu, an illness similar to a bad cold. Choice (D) refers to a homonym
of that word, flew (took a trip by plane).

B. Multiple Meaning Words


The dialogs may also contain words with multiple meanings. In these items, one
or two of the answer choices refer to another definition of a word as it is used in the
dialog.
Sample Item
You will hear:
F1 : Are you sure this is how Lois spells her last name?
M1 : It doesn't look right, does it? In fact, I'm not even sure it starts with that letter.
M2 : What does the man mean?
You will read:
(A) The letter to Lois was incorrectly addressed.
(B) Lois's last name may be incorrectly spelled.
(C) Lois's name appeared on the rigl1t side of the page.
(D) Lois hasn't begun writing the letter yet.

The dialog contains the words right, meaning "correct," and the word letter,
meaning a character in the alphabet. Choices (A) and (D) also contain the word letter,
but in those choices the word has another definition-a message sent through the mail.
Choice (C) also contains the word right, but in that choice, it refers to a direction-the
opposite of left.
You won't be confused by these items if you understand the entire dialog. Again,
the context of the dialog can help you choose the correct answer. But if you focus only
on single words, like week and flu or letter and right in the two samples, you can easily
make mistakes.
