Answer to Question 1

Homonyms
Homonyms are words that look or sound alike but have different meanings. Choosing an
incorrect word, although it may sound or even look correct, is one of the most frequently
committed errors in word usage.

Answer to Question 2

Phonetic
Phonetic spelling indicates how the word should be broken into syllables, how each syllable
should be pronounced, and which syllable or syllables should be accented. Immediately after
the regular spelling of a word, the dictionary shows the word's phonetic spelling.
