All homonyms are homophones, but not all homophones are homonyms. A trivia host who does not want to be eaten alive will accept both answers the way this question is phrased, or remove that from the question list. Of interest, since most cruise directors on cruise ships are not native speakers of English and often have heavy accents nowadays, the standard has become to show the questions on a giant video screen. It keeps the fistfights to a minimum. There for a while cruise ship trivia became a blood sport.

31. It would have to be a large, populous country, so China. I have been to the top habitable floor of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It was engineered so that if other buildings go higher, it can just extend its top spire higher as needed to retain its position as the world's tallest building.
32. Greece
33. I didn't even know there were different types of berets - I don't know much about Prince or his music. I think he fell into a time in my life when I was working 14 hour days sometimes fighting crime. (for no overtime)

36. tears
37. On the third of never
