To determine which homophone correctly completes the sentence and identify the context clue, we need to understand the meanings of each word provided in the table:
1. brake: A device that prevents movement.
2. break: A gap resulting from damage.
3. weal: A ridge of raised skin.
4. wheel: A round object mounted on an axle.
The context of the sentence is about parking on a hill and ensuring that the car stays stationary. Based on these definitions:
- Brake is relevant because it refers to a device that prevents movement, which makes sense when discussing stopping a car from rolling down a hill.
- Break, weal, and wheel do not fit the context as well as brake does. Break refers to damage causing a gap, which is unrelated to keeping a car stationary. Weal refers to a physical condition of the skin and is irrelevant here. Wheel refers to part of the car but not the part used to prevent motion.
Therefore, the correct homophone to complete the sentence is "brake".
### Which homophone correctly completes the sentence?
brake
### Which word provides a context clue that supports your answer?
The word "stationary" serves as a context clue because it suggests preventing movement, which is an action performed by a brake.
