To complete the sentence "When you park on a hill, it is wise to use the hand [tex]$\quad$[/tex] so the car stays stationary," you need to select the homophone that accurately fits the context of preventing the car from moving.

From the table:
- "Brake" is defined as a device that prevents movement.
- "Break" is defined as a gap resulting from damage.
- "Weal" is a ridge of raised skin.
- "Wheel" is a round object mounted on an axle.

The appropriate homophone that completes the sentence is "brake" because it refers to a device that prevents movement, which is relevant when parking a car on a hill to keep it from rolling.

The word that provides a context clue supporting your answer is "stationary". It implies the need for something to keep the car from moving, which aligns with the function of a brake.

Therefore:

- Correct homophone: Brake
- Context clue: Stationary
