Question

which sentence shows the correct use of a common homophone?
○ the art teacher thought you’re drawing was exceptionally detailed.
○ some of the neighbors just saw you’re dog running down the street.
○ i think you left your biology notebook on the bleachers yesterday.
○ if you want to finish the assignment, your going to need another pen.

Explanation:

To determine the correct use of homophones ("your" vs. "you're"), we analyze each option:

• First option: "you're" (contraction for "you are") is incorrect here; it should be "your" (possessive) to show the drawing belongs to you.
• Second option: "you're" is incorrect; it should be "your" (possessive) for the dog belonging to you.
• Third option: "your" is used correctly as a possessive to show the notebook belongs to you.
• Fourth option: "your" is incorrect; it should be "you're" (contraction for "you are") in the phrase "you're going".

Answer:

C. I think you left your biology notebook on the bleachers yesterday.
