Respuesta :

They're similar because they sound the same, they're pronounce with an 'n'. They're different because they are spelled differently

Similarity:

Knit- The first alphabet is not utilized in shaping the sound of the word when spelled. “K” is silent.

Gnome

- The same is the case here, “G” is silent.


In the writing scheme of English language, a silent letter is a particular alphabet which does not produce any sound when the word is spelled. This kind of alphabet rather changes the pronunciation of another syllable.  

Difference:

Knit-

  • This word is a verb.
  • Meaning: Unite or form a loop.

Gnome-

  • This is noun.
  • Definition: dwarfish creature or ugly person.
