Rationale: The correct definition of a homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and often different spelling.
Choice A, 'Words with opposite meanings,' is incorrect as homophones do not necessarily have opposite meanings.
Choice C, 'Synonyms,' is incorrect because homophones are not words with the same meaning.
Choice D, 'Words with similar spellings,' is also incorrect as homophones may have different spellings.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In the sentence provided, 'Singing' is a gerund, which is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun. It represents the action of singing, but in this context, it acts as the subject of the sentence.
Therefore, 'Noun' is the correct answer. 'Verb' (choice
A) is incorrect because while gerunds are verb forms, in this sentence, 'Singing' is not acting as a verb. 'Adjective' (choice
C) is incorrect as it describes a noun, which is not the case here. 'Pronoun' (choice
D) is also incorrect as 'Singing' does not replace a noun in this sentence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Future progressive. 'Will be writing' indicates an ongoing action that will occur in the future, which is the future progressive tense.
Choice B, Past perfect, is incorrect as it refers to an action completed before a specified time in the past.
Choice C, Future simple, is incorrect as it refers to a simple future action without indicating ongoing progress.
Choice D, Present perfective, is incorrect as it does not match the tense used in the sentence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Dyskinesia.' By breaking down the word parts, 'dys-' means difficult or abnormal, and '-kinesia' refers to movement.

Choice B, 'Hyperkinesia,' is incorrect as 'hyper-' means excessive, not abnormal.
Choice C, 'Akinesia,' is incorrect as 'a-' means without, not abnormal.
Choice D, 'Hypokinesia,' is incorrect as 'hypo-' means deficient, not abnormal.
