To find the word with a different sound in the underlined part, we'll analyze the IPA notations.
1. A. knock (nɑk), B. key (ki), C. pocket (ˈpɑkət), D. milk (mɪlk)
- The words "knock," "key," and "pocket" all have the "k" sound, while "milk" has the "m" sound. Therefore, the word with a different sound is "milk" (D).
2. A. queen (kwin), B. square (skwɛr), C. queue (kju), D. quick (kwɪk)
- The words "queen," "queue," and "quick" all have the "kw" sound, while "square" has the "skw" sound. Although "square" also has the "kw" sound, the "skw" sound is different from the other three options in that it includes the "s" sound. However, the main difference is that the vowel sounds in the words are different (win vs. u vs. ɛ vs. ɪ). A more significant difference would be the presence of "s" in the "skw" sound, and the remaining options do not have an "s" in the underlined part. A more conservative answer would be "queen" (A) because it does not have the "u" or "ɛ" or "ɪ" sound after the "k" sound, but the more significant difference would be option "square" (B) because it is the only option that has the "s" sound before the "k" sound. The most accurate answer is B.
3. A. carrot (ˈkɛrət), B. city (ˈsɪti), C. cake (keɪk), D. class (klæs)
- The words "carrot" and "cake" both start with the "k" sound, while "city" starts with the "s" sound, and "class" starts with the "kl" sound. The words "carrot" and "cake" both have the "k" sound but "cake" has an "eɪ" sound after it, while "carrot" has an "ɛ" sound after it. Considering the "k" sound, "carrot" (A) and "cake" (C) are closer to each other. However, "carrot" has an "ɛ" sound after the "k" sound, while "cake" has an "eɪ" sound after it. So a difference exists between "carrot" (A) and "cake" (C), and they are both different from "city" (B) and "class" (D). But if we are looking for a more significant difference, "city" (B) and "class" (D) would be more different than "carrot" (A) and "cake" (C) in that they do not start with the "k" sound, but "city" (B) and "class" (D) are also different from each other. A more conservative answer is that "city" (B) and "class" (D) are more different from "carrot" (A) and "cake" (C). So B or D could be the answer. But since the question is asking for "a" word, a more specific answer is B.
4. A. chopstick (ˈʧɑpstɪk), B. chicken (ˈʧɪkən), C. cheek (ʧik), D. character (ˈkɛrɪktər)
- The words "chopstick," "chicken," and "cheek" all start with the "ʧ" (ch) sound, while "character" starts with the "k" sound. Therefore, the word with a different sound is "character" (D).
5. A. age (eɪʤ), B. give (gɪv), C. garden (ˈgɑrdən), D. guitar (gɪˈtɑr)
- The words "give," "garden," and "guitar" all start with the "g" sound, while "age" starts with the "eɪ" sound. Therefore, the word with a different sound is "age" (A).
