Match each target word to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbol representing its primary monophthong (pure vowel) sound.

Match 'quay' with /i:/, 'pack' with /æ/, 'bird' with /ɜ:/, and 'pot' with /ɒ/.

Each word is matched to its true IPA monophthong symbol based on standard Received Pronunciation (RP) as tested in JAMB UTME.

Determine the phonetic transcription and central monophthong vowel sound for each target word.

'quay' has the vowel /i:/, 'pack' has /æ/, 'bird' has /ɜ:/, and 'pot' has /ɒ/.

Identifying pure vowel sounds requires analyzing spoken pronunciation rather than relying solely on spelling.

Pair each word with its corresponding IPA monophthong symbol.

'quay' ↔ /i:/, 'pack' ↔ /æ/, 'bird' ↔ /ɜ:/, 'pot' ↔ /ɒ/.

Each word contains a distinct pure vowel sound represented accurately by its standard IPA symbol.
