This hard Grade 5 worksheet shifts focus to homographs, words spelled the same but with different meanings. Four multiple choice questions ask students to read sentences with bass, lead, wind, and tear, then choose the correct meaning from four options. The questions distribute correct answers across all four positions. Five fill-in sentences cover tear, bass, wind, bow, and refuse, asking students to use context to decide which sense of each homograph fits the sentence.
