To determine which word has an underlined part that differs in pronunciation from the other three, we'll analyze the pronunciation of each word.
Question 1: A. bag, B. pay, C. happy, D. transform
In this case, we're looking for the word with a different vowel sound.
A. bag: bæg (æ)
B. pay: peɪ (eɪ)
C. happy: ˈhæpi (æ)
D. transform: ˈtrænsfɔrm (æ, ɔ)
The words "bag" and "happy" both contain the "æ" sound. The word "transform" also contains the "æ" sound. The word "pay", however, contains the "eɪ" sound, which differs from the "æ" sound.
Therefore, the answer to Question 1 is B. pay.
Question 2: A. cooks, B. loves, C. joins, D. spends
In this case, we're looking for the word with a different consonant sound or suffix pronunciation.
A. cooks: kʊks (ks)
B. loves: ləvz (z)
C. joins: ʤɔɪnz (nz)
D. spends: spɛnz (nz)
The words "joins" and "spends" both end with the "nz" sound. The word "loves", however, ends with the "z" sound, which differs from the "nz" sound.
However, the "ks" sound of the word "cooks" is more different from the other options. Although the "z" sound in "loves" also differs from "nz" in "joins" and "spends", the "ks" sound in "cooks" is more different from "nz" and "z" in other options.
Therefore, the answer to Question 2 is A. cooks.
