Here are the answers to the given true or false questions:
Question 5: False
Question 6: True
Question 7: False
Question 8: False
To answer these questions, we need to analyze the underlined part of each word and compare their pronunciation.
Question 9:
The words are: honour, ahead, hospital, and handicraft.
Their underlined parts are: our, a, os, and andi.
Their IPA notations for the underlined parts are: ɑn, əh, ɑs, and æn.
Comparing the IPA notations, we see that the pronunciation of the underlined parts of the first three words is similar, with "ɑ" being the vowel sound. The underlined part of the fourth word, "handicraft", has "æ" as the vowel sound, which is different.
However, the question requires the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation. Based on the analysis of the IPA notations, we see that the underlined part of "ahead" is "əh" which differs from the other three words in pronunciation.
So the correct answer is: B. ahead
Question 10:
The words are: pack, park, chart, and thanks.
Their underlined parts are: ack, ark, art, and anks.
Their IPA notations for the underlined parts are: æk, ɑrk, ɑrt, and æŋks.
Comparing the IPA notations, we see that the pronunciation of the underlined parts of the first and fourth words is similar, with "æ" being the vowel sound. The underlined parts of the other two words have "ɑ" as the vowel sound.
However, the question requires the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation. Based on the analysis of the IPA notations, we see that the underlined parts of "pack" and "thanks" have "æ" as the vowel sound, but the underlined part of "pack" has "k" and "thanks" has "ŋk" and "ks" respectively. However, both "pack" and "thanks" have similar vowel sound but the consonant sound is slightly different in "thanks". On the other hand, "pack" has "k" which is the same as the consonant sound in "park".
However, the vowel sound in "pack" is the same as the vowel sound in "thanks". Therefore, the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation is "chart" and "park" as both have "ɑ" as the vowel sound but "chart" has "t" and "park" has "rk". Both words have the same vowel sound but the consonant sound is slightly different. But we need to choose one of them.
So the correct answer is: C. chart
