The correct sentence would be, "As far as I know, it's starting right after school." It's is used as a conjunction. It combines it and is. If the sentence does not sound right using it is, then it is wrong. Here is an explanation using one of the sentences above, "I think the dog left it is bone under the chair. " That sounds wrong, therefore it is wrong.

The correct answer is:

The sentence which accurately uses the homophones "it's" or "its" is:

- As far as I know, it's starting right after school.

Homophones are words which are pronounced the same, but differ in meaning and sometimes spelling too, as in this case.

The word It's, is always short for It is (or it has, in informal speech). In the sentence chosen as accurately written it means it is (It's) starting right after school.

The word Its, is a possessive pronoun; means belonging to it.

Therefore, the first sentence should have said: "its bone"; the second sentence: "It's going to be"; and, the last sentence: its charger.
