Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations.

From the pairs you provided:

  1. yes, no - Not homographs
  2. bat, bat - This could be considered a single word, but if referring to the animal and the sports equipment, they are homographs (different meanings).
  3. bat, bat - Same as above, considered a repeat.
  4. map, tap - Not homographs (different spellings).
  5. map, tap - Same as above, considered a repeat.
  6. their, there - Not homographs (different spellings).
  7. their, there - Same as above, considered a repeat.

So the only pairs that could be considered homographs are bat, bat in the context of having different meanings (animal vs. sports equipment).
