Select the sentence containing the homonym of the highlighted word:
The prince’s gules dominated the family coat of arms.

Correct option is B

The highlighted word “gules” in the sentence refers to red colour in heraldry (coat of arms).
· In option (b), “The chef prepared a sauce of deep gules and cumin.”
· Here, “gules” is used to mean red colour, referring to the colour of the sauce.
· This is a homonym because the same word “gules” is used with a different context/field (culinary vs heraldry).
Why other options are incorrect:
· (a), (c), (d) — In all these, “gules” is still used in the heraldic sense, not as a different meaning. Hence, they do not show a homonym.
Example (showing what a homonym looks like):
· seal (animal) / seal (to close something)
· bark (dog sound) / bark (tree covering)
Note (Confusing point):
· Homonym (same sound + different meaning)
· Synonym (similar meaning)
· Homophone (same sound, different spelling/meaning)
· Here, gules does not have a commonly used everyday homonym in standard English usage.
