Select the sentence containing the homonym of the highlighted word:
The fanon rested on the Pope’s shoulder during Mass.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is option (c).
Detailed explanation:
In the passage, fanon refers to a liturgical vestment worn in certain Christian ceremonies (a type of cloth worn by clergy). Option (c) uses Fanon as a proper noun, referring to Frantz Fanon, the thinker associated with postcolonial theory.
Here, fanon (vestment) and Fanon (person’s name) are pronounced similarly in common usage and function as homonyms in the context of the question (same sound, different meaning).
Explanation of context of question:
The question asks for a sentence that uses a homonym of “fanon”—i.e., same pronunciation but different meaning. The proper noun “Fanon” fits that requirement best among the given options.
Other options are incorrect because:
· (a), (b), (d) all use fanon in the same meaning as the original sentence (the religious garment), so they are not homonyms—they are the same word, same meaning.
· Information booster:
· Homonyms are words that sound the same but have different meanings (and often different spellings), e.g., right/write, flower/flour.
