Hint
Maybe the title should be: Contractions Hear.Answer
All the words in Group A can sound like other words (that aren't contractions)."I'd" can sound like "eyed".
"I'll" can sound like "aisle" or "all".
"He'd" can sound like "heed".
"We'll" can sound like "wheel" or "will"
"They're" can sound like "there".
"We've" can sound like "weave", and thus it can be added to Group A.
Can you think of any other contractions that could be in this group? Some obvious ones are:
"We'd" can sound like "weed".
"He'll" can sound like "heel" or "hill".
"You're" can sound like "your".
"It's" can sound like "its".
