The sentence that shows the correct use of a common homophone is B. I had a sandwich, some cheese, and a pear for lunch.

Homophones are words that are pronounced similarly but different in meaning or spelling. In this case, the homophones are "pair" and "pear". While pair means two, pear is a fruit.

In option A, the phrase should be a "pair of gloves" instead of "a pear of gloves". In option C, the sentence should include "pear" instead of "pair" because it is referring to food. Lastly, in option D the word should be "pear" intead of "pair" because it refers to a type of tree.

Homophones are two words that have the same pronunciation, but they have different meaning and different spelling. "Pair" and "pear" are an example of words that are homophones. It is necessary to be careful with the use of homophones because they can change the meaning of the sentence. In this case, the sentence that shows the correct use of a common homophone is B because it is using the word "pear" (a fruit) in a context where food is being mentioned.
