To answer this question, let's analyze the pronunciation of each word, focusing on the underlined part (which we'll assume is the part that might be pronounced differently).
A. family: ˈfæməli (the underlined part is "məli", with the "m" sound being a bilabial nasal)
B. natural: ˈnæʧərəl (the underlined part is "ʧərəl", with the "ʧ" sound being a voiceless postalveolar affricate)
C. travel: ˈtrævəl (the underlined part is "vəl", with the "v" sound being a voiced labiodental fricative)
D. destination: dɛstɪˈneɪʃən (the underlined part is "ʃən", with the "ʃ" sound being a voiceless postalveolar fricative)
Comparing the underlined parts, we notice that the sounds "m", "ʧ", "v", and "ʃ" are all pronounced differently. However, if we look at the "ə" sound, which is a schwa sound, it is pronounced similarly in options A, B, and C. In option D, the corresponding sound is "ɪ", which is a near-close near-front unrounded vowel and "ʃ" and "n" also follow it, making "ʃən" distinct.
Considering the context of the question, the answer is D. destination.
To answer this question, let's examine the pronunciation of each word, focusing on the underlined part, which is the ending (-days, -kets, -urs, -els).
The IPA notation for each word is as follows:
- holidays: ˈhɑlədeɪz (ending sound is eɪz)
- tickets: ˈtɪkɪts (ending sound is ɪts)
- tours: tʊrz (ending sound is rz, which sounds like "erz")
- models: ˈmɑdəlz (ending sound is lz, similar to the "ls" sound in models)
Comparing the ending sounds, "eɪz" (eɪ as in "play" + z), "ɪts" (i as in "bit" + ts), "rz" (u as in "put" + rz), and "lz" (l as in "love" + z):
- holidays has an ending sound of "eɪz", a combination of the long 'a' sound and the z sound.
- tickets ends with "ɪts", the short 'i' sound followed by the ts sound.
- tours ends with a distinct "rz" sound which seems to not fit the mould of the other ending sounds.
So, the underlined part of word C (tours) is pronounced differently from those of the others.
Analyze:
'music' stressed at first syllable
'nation' stressed at first syllable
'destroy' stressed at second syllable
'visit' stressed at first syllable
Therefore, 'destroy' has a different stress position to other words.
Answer: C. destroy
Analyze:
'traveller' stressed at first syllable
'authentic' stressed at second syllable
Since 'incurious' cannot be found in the dictionary, we cannot analyze its stress pattern.
'correction' stressed at second syllable
Therefore, 'traveller' has a different stress position to other words that can be verified.
Answer: A. traveller
A. are there
D. was going
