I. choose the words whose underlined part is pronounced different from that of the others in each group. 1. A. bake B. cake C. safety D. habits The words 'bake', 'cake', and 'safety' all end with a /eɪk/ sound. The word 'habits' ends with a /əts/ sound, but its underlined part, 'bits', is pronounced /bɪts/; thus, 'habits' is the answer. 2. A. ice B. comic C. online D. climbing The words 'comic', 'online', and 'climbing' all contain the /aɪ/ sound in the underlined part. The word 'ice' also contains the /aɪ/ sound. However, 'comic' has /ɑ/ in the underlined part, thus the correct answer is 'comic'. 3. A. anything B. brother C. together D. they The words 'anything', 'brother', and 'together' all contain a different sound in the underlined part. The word 'anything' has /ɛ/, 'brother' has /ʊ/, and 'together' has /ɛ/. The word 'they' contains the /eɪ/ sound, thus it is the answer. 4. A. sport B. surfing C. sure D. spend The words 'sport', 'surfing', and 'spend' all contain the 'sp' sound in the underlined part, but 'spend' and 'sport' have the short 'e' /ɛ/ sound whereas 'surfing' has /ər/ sound. However, 'sure' has the /ʊr/ sound, thus it is the answer. 5. A. theater B. beach C. teacher D. speaker The words 'theater', 'teacher', and 'speaker' all contain the 'ea' sound in the underlined part, but 'theater' and 'teacher' have /iː/ and 'speaker' has /ɪ/ sound. However, 'beach' has the /iː/ and 'ea' /iː/ sound, thus the correct answer is 'speaker'. 6. A. about B. bought C. found D. mountain The words 'about', 'bought', and 'found' all contain the 'ou' sound in the underlined part, but 'bought' has the /ɔ/ sound. However, 'mountain' has the /aʊ/ sound in a different underlined part, thus it is not the answer. Therefore, the correct answer is 'bought'. 7. A. gifts B. models C. friends D. cars The words 'gifts', 'models', and 'friends' all contain the 'i' or 'ie' sound in the underlined part, but 'gifts' has /ɪ/, 'models' has /ɔ/, and 'friends' has /ɛ/ sound. However, 'cars' has the /ɑ/ sound, thus the correct answer is 'cars'. 8. A. games B. hobbies C. classmates D. gives The words 'games', 'hobbies', and 'classmates' all contain the 'ie' or 'i' sound in the underlined part, but 'games' and 'classmates' have /eɪ/ and 'hobbies' has /ɔ/. However, 'gives' has the /ɪ/ sound, thus it is the answer. 9. A. invited B. sounded C. excited D. scared The words 'invited', 'sounded', and 'excited' all contain the 'ite' or 'ed' sound in the underlined part, but 'scared' has /ɛ/ sound in the underlined part. Thus, the correct answer is 'scared'. 10. A. provinded B. helped C. collected D. noted The words 'helped', 'collected', and 'noted' all contain the 'ed' sound in the underlined part. However, 'provinded' is not in the list of the IPA notation words, thus assuming the 'ed' sound, the correct answer cannot be determined using the information provided. However, based on analysis we can determine that 'provinded' is likely a typo or a misspelling and can be ignored.
