Key Points

• A homonym reuses the word with a shifted meaning.
• In the prompt, 'introit' is the liturgical psalm sung as the priest approaches the altar.
• Options B, C and D keep that strict religious sense (missal, cantor, Sunday liturgy).
• Option A places it in a secular setting — a child singing during a theatrical intermission — shifting it toward a general 'introductory piece', which is the homonym use.
• Find the option where the shared word is used *out of* its original context.
