Question
how is the underlined homograph pronounced? the doctor wound a gauze bandage around the wound. woond, rhymes with tuned wownd, rhymes with found
The underlined word "wound" here refers to an injury. The homograph "wound" (as a noun meaning injury) is pronounced /waʊnd/, which rhymes with "found". The other pronunciation /wuːnd/ is for the verb "wound" (past tense of wind, meaning to wrap). So the correct pronunciation - related option is the one that says it rhymes with "found" (assuming the option is "wownd, rhymes with found" with the correct spelling - likely a typo and should be "wound, rhymes with found").
