What is homonym for the word close?

The homonym for "close" depends on the context. There are a few possibilities:

If you mean "to shut," the homonym is " close" (pronounced with a long "o" sound)

* Example: Please close the door.

If you mean "near," the homonym is " close" (pronounced with a short "o" sound)

* Example: The store is close to my house.

If you mean "to end," the homonym is " cloze" (pronounced "cloze" with a long "o" sound)

* Example: The meeting will cloze at 5 pm.

Let me know if you can provide more context, and I can give you a more specific answer.
