This is a phonetic puzzle. I'm going to give you some sentences. Each sentence contains homophones of two opposites/ antonyms. (Ex. People in Albany enunciate well. --> all, none) Try to hear the SOUNDS of words, (NOT their spellings) in each sentence to find two antonyms.
Note: The
homophones may be buried inside words, but they're always discreet syllables.
They always change spelling from their parts in the sentence.
1. The model wore a timepiece on her ankle.
2. Who will
underwrite the cost of the sarong?
3. This is a
rare Bolivian diamond.
4. The
customer got a souvenir from the pharmacy.
5. Let's
celebrate by throwing a party.
6. The stoker
must reignite the furnace daily.
7. Can
