Question

To find the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation, we will analyze the given words and their corresponding IPA notations.

01. A. laughed: læft 
    B. lived: lɪvd 
    C. played: pleɪd 
    D. opened: ˈoʊpənd
The words "laughed," "lived," and "played" end with the "d" sound (as in /d/), while "opened" ends with the "nd" sound (as in /nd/), but in a unstressed syllable. However, "lived" has /ɪv/ while the others have different vowel sounds. However, "lived," "laughed," and "played" all end with /d/ and have different vowel sounds and "opened" is the one that stands out with its vowel sound and /nd/. So "opened" is the answer.

02. A. yards: jɑrdz 
    B. rulers: ˈrulərz 
    C. windows: ˈwɪndoʊz 
    D. shirts: ʃərts
The words "yards," "rulers," and "windows" all have the /z/ sound (the sound of the letter "s" in "bus"), while "shirts" has the /s/ sound (as in the regular "s" sound, but it&#x27;s actually the "ʃə" that gives a /s/ sound, even though "ʃ" is a "sh" sound, in shirts it&#x27;s /s/). However, "yards," "rulers," and "windows" all end with a /z/ sound, while "shirts" is the one that stands out with its "ʃə" combination, which has a /s/ sound, however that "ʃ" can make "shirts" stand out. However, it&#x27;s the vowel sound and the "ʃ" that make "shirts" the answer.

03. A. health: hɛlθ 
    B. heavy: ˈhɛvi 
    C. appear: əˈpɪr 
    D. ready: ˈrɛdi
The words "health," "heavy," and "ready" all have the same vowel sound /ɛ/, while "appear" has a schwa sound (ə).

04. A. without: wɪˈθaʊt 
    B. toothbrush: ˈtuθbrəʃ 
    C. earthquake: ˈərθkweɪk 
    D. bathroom: ˈbæθrum
The words "without," "toothbrush," and "earthquake" all have the /θ/ sound (the sound of the letters "th" in "this"), while "bathroom" has the same /θ/ sound but "bathroom" stands out with its vowel sound. However, it&#x27;s actually the "bathroom" vowel sound that makes it the answer.

05. A. nurse: nərs 
    B. bury: ˈbɛri 
    C. hurt: hərt 
    D. curly: ˈkərli
The words "nurse," "hurt," and "curly" all have the same vowel sound (ə), while "bury" has the /ɛ/ sound.

06. C. rang
07. C. goes
08. after
