Zorluk: OrtaMonophthongs (Pure Vowels)

Pair each target word listed on the left with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbol on the right that correctly denotes the monophthong (pure vowel) sound produced by its underlined section.

  • clerk/ɑ:/
  • wand/ɒ/
  • jealous/e/
  • curd/ɜ:/

Cevap

The correct pairings are: 'clerk' matches /ɑ:/, 'wand' matches /ɒ/, 'jealous' matches /e/, and 'curd' matches /ɜ:/.
In Standard British English (Received Pronunciation), each target word corresponds to a specific monophthong: 'clerk' contains the long /ɑ:/ sound, 'wand' contains the short /ɒ/ sound, 'jealous' contains the short /e/ sound, and 'curd' contains the long /ɜ:/ sound.
