Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the phonetic representation of the target word 'buoy'
The word 'buoy' is phonetically transcribed as /bɔɪ/, which contains the diphthong sound /ɔɪ/.
The spelling 'uoy' is deceptive, but the vowel sound produced is the diphthong glide /ɔɪ/.
2
Transcribe and analyze the vowel sound in each given option
'employ' is /ɪmˈplɔɪ/ (/ɔɪ/); 'fluid' is /ˈfluː.ɪd/ (/uː/ + /ɪ/); 'cruise' is /kruːz/ (/uː/); 'choir' is /ˈkwaɪə/ (/aɪ/).
Systematic phonetic breakdown isolates the matching diphthong sound.
3
Match the option containing the identical /ɔɪ/ diphthong glide
'employ' matches 'buoy'.
Both words conclude with the identical /ɔɪ/ diphthong sound.
