To determine which word's underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each question, we'll analyze the given IPA notations.
Question 1:
A. health: hɛlθ
B. appear: əˈpɪr
C. ready: ˈrɛdi
D. heavy: ˈhɛvi
The underlined part refers to the vowel sound in each word.
- health has ɛ (the "e" in "pet")
- appear has ɪ (the "i" in "hit")
- ready and heavy both have ɛ (the "e" in "pet")
Since "appear" is the only one with the "ɪ" sound (the "i" in "hit"), it's the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation.
Answer: B
Question 2:
A. hour: aʊər
B. hand: hænd
C. home: hoʊm
D. hat: hæt
The underlined part refers to the vowel sound in each word.
- hour has aʊ (the "ou" in "out")
- hand has æ (the "a" in "cat")
- home has oʊ (the "o" in "go")
- hat also has æ (the "a" in "cat")
Since "hour" and "home" have different vowel sounds from "hand" and "hat," but "hand" and "hat" are more similar to each other than "hour" and "home," we'll have to look at the consonant sounds.
- hour has ʊər (the "our" in "hour")
- hand has nd (the "nd" in "hand")
- home has oʊm (the "ome" in "home")
- hat has æt (the "at" in "hat")
Considering the vowel and consonant sounds, "hour" is the one that stands out, but "home" also has a different vowel sound. However, "hour" has a unique combination of vowel and consonant sounds (aʊər). On the other hand, "home" (oʊm) is closer to "hand" (ænd) and "hat" (æt) in terms of not having the "ər" sound at the end.
Looking at the options again, the "h" followed by the vowel sound in "hand," "home," and "hat" are more similar to each other than "hour" which has "aʊər." However, considering the vowel sound and the letters following it in each word, the word "hour" is the odd one out.
However, re-reading the original instruction, it seems we need to analyze each word in a different way. Re-reading each option and considering the word "home," we see "hoʊm" has "hoʊ" (the "o" in "go"), "hand" has "hænd," and "hat" has "hæt." "hour" has "aʊər." Now considering the first vowel sound and the letters that follow, "hour" has a unique first vowel sound and the letters that follow it. "home," "hand," and "hat" are more similar in that the first vowel sound is followed by a single consonant sound and then another vowel sound. The word "hour" has a unique combination of sounds (aʊər), while "home," "hand," and "hat" are more similar in that they have a single vowel sound followed by a consonant and then another vowel sound or the end of the word. However, "hour" is different from the other three in another way.
Each of the words "hand," "home," and "hat" starts with a short vowel sound and is followed by "nd," "me," and "t." However, the word "hour" starts with a diphthong (aʊ) followed by "ər." But looking at each word again, it appears the instruction might be asking which of the following words has the underlined part which is the first vowel sound that is pronounced differently from the other three options.
The word "hour" has "aʊ" which is different from "hand" (æ), "home" (oʊ), and "hat" (æ). So "hour" has a different first vowel sound than the other three options which all have a short vowel sound followed by a consonant sound.
However, the question is asking which word has the underlined part that is different. The words "hand," "home," and "hat" are more similar to each other in that they have a short vowel sound followed by a consonant and then another vowel sound or the end of the word.
But if we consider the actual vowel sound of each word that corresponds to the underlined part, we have
- "hour" (aʊ),
- "hand" (æ),
- "home" (oʊ),
- "hat" (æ).
Looking at each word again, we can see that the first vowel sound in "hour" is different from the first vowel sound in the other three options. However, considering the original instruction again, it's clear the underlined part should correspond to the vowel sound that's different from the other three options.
The word "hour" has "aʊ," while the other three options have a short vowel sound.
So the correct answer is A.
