Here are the answers to the given questions:
Question 1:
- note: noʊt
- monk: məŋk
- phone: foʊn
- stole: stoʊl
Since the underlined part is "o", then "o" is pronounced in three ways in four words.
- The underlined "o" in the word "monk" is pronounced as /ə/ or /ʊ/ (u in "put"), which is different from the "o" in the other three words, which is pronounced /oʊ/. Therefore, the answer is B.
Question 2:
- democratic: dɛməˈkrætɪk
- memorise: memorise*
- opportunity: ɑpərˈtunəti
- popularity: pɑpjəˈlɛrəti
Assuming that the word "memorise" is pronounced as /mɛməraɪz/. Since the underlined part is "o", then "o" is pronounced in three ways in four words.
- The underlined "o" in the word "democratic" is pronounced as /ɛ/ (e in "bet"), which is different from the "o" in the other three words, which is pronounced /ɔ/ (o in "law") or /oʊ/. Therefore, the answer is A.
Question 3:
- private: ˈpraɪvət
- brilliant: ˈbrɪljənt
- promise: ˈprɑməs
- oriented: ˈɔriɛntɪd
The underlined part is "i" and "y".
- The underlined "i" in the word "promise" is pronounced as /ɑ/ (a in "car"), which is different from the other three words, which have "i" pronounced as /aɪ/ (i in "buy") or /ɪ/ (i in "bit"). Therefore, the answer is C.
Question 4:
- pursue: pərˈsu
- leisure: ˈlɛʒər
- western: ˈwɛstərn
- lifestyle: ˈlaɪfstaɪl
The underlined part is "u".

No, "u" in "western" is pronounced as /ʌ/ (u in "cut"), /u/ (u in "put") or /uː/ (u in "cue"). However, it is pronounced as /ʌ/ or /u/ and /ʊ/ is close to /u/ in pronunciation, so "u" in "pursue" is pronounced as /ʊ/ (u in "put"), which is different from the other three words. However, /u/ (u in "put") is also different from /ʊ/ (u in "put") and /ʌ/ (u in "cut") is different from /u/ (u in "put") or /juː/ (u in "cue"). Therefore, the answer is A or C or D.
Since there are many possible answers for this question, it's best to consider the other options by analyzing more data.
