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).
