Calorogus Shark Media. Greetings trivia fans. I'm Mark Allison, and

2
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:14.199
today we're playing with homophones, words that sound the same

3
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:18.160
but have different meanings. I'll give you two definitions, and

4
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.519
your answer is the homophone that fits both. Question one,

5
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.399
a large hoofed animal and having a rough, raspy voice.

6
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:35.320
What are these two homophones? Question two? A flying insect

7
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:38.200
that makes honey and the letter that comes after a.

8
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.600
Question three, a story or narrative and the appendage of

9
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:55.280
an animal like a dog or cat. Question four, a

10
00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:00.520
small opening in your skin and to flow liquid from atainer.

11
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.879
Question five to look at something and the doc or

12
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.719
wharf where ships are moored. We'll be right back with

13
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:19.640
these sound alike answers after this break. Welcome back, trivia fans.

14
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.959
Let's reveal today's homophone answers. Question one, large hoofed animal

15
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.159
and rough voice. Answer horse and horse. A horse is

16
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.519
the four legged animal, while horse describes a rough or

17
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.120
scratchy voice. These words sound identical when spoken. Question two,

18
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.640
honeymaking insect and letter after a answer B and B.

19
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.560
The insect B produces honey and lives in hives, while

20
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.719
B is the second letter of the alphabet. They sound

21
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:54.239
exactly the same when spoken. Question three story or narrative

22
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:59.200
and animal's appendage answer tail and tail. A tale is

23
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.400
a story or account of events, while a tail is

24
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.799
the posterior appendage of animals. These common homophones are often

25
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:11.000
confused in writing. Question four small skin opening and to

26
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.400
flow liquid answer poor and poor. A poor is a

27
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.840
tiny opening in skin or other surfaces, while poor means

28
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.719
to cause liquid to flow from a container. They sound

29
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.439
identical despite their completely different meanings. Question five to look

30
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.680
at and ship docking area answer peer and peer. To

31
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.759
peer means to look closely or intently at something, while

32
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.599
a peer is a structure extending into water where boats

33
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.840
can dock. Both words sound exactly the same. That concludes

34
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.280
