Detailed explanation-1: -The composition of Raisin Bran varies from scoop to scoop and is a mixture of raisin and flake “elements” that can be easily separated. Brass and bronze are made up of varying amounts of metals, depending on how it is made. The elements are not bonded in constant ratios, much like the raisins and flakes in Raisin Bran.

Detailed explanation-2: -Brass is Homogeneous because of the uniform compositions, like sugar solution.

Detailed explanation-3: -While both brass and silver have a uniform composition throughout, brass is not a pure substance because it does not have a definite composition. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and the proportions of these two metals are varied to produce brass having different properties.
