Answer 1

Answer:

A. The child sang the introit during the intermission.

• An Introit is a psalm or anthem sung while a priest enters the celebrant's area. • In all five sentences provided, the word is used in this same musical/liturgical context. • For a "homonym" question to work, one of the sentences would usually need to use the word to mean something else (though "introit" rarely has other meanings) or provide a word that sounds the same but is spelled differently (homophone).
