Mixed-Up Meanings Answer Key

This worksheet presents a short, humorous dialogue where two characters misunderstand each other due to a homograph. Students read the conversation, identify the confusing word, and answer comprehension questions that explore both meanings and the cause of the mix-up. Using the word bat, learners distinguish between its animal and sports equipment meanings. They then write their own example sentences to show understanding. This exercise strengthens vocabulary comprehension, context reasoning, and the ability to interpret word meaning through conversation.
