Answer 1

The correct homograph that can replace the highlighted word "time" in the sentence is "second."

The revised sentence would read: "The runner won by only a tiny bit of second in the 50-yard dash."

In this context, "second" refers to a unit of time, which fits the meaning of the original sentence.
