Cevap

The word with the same consonant sound as the underlined digraph in 'feather' is 'worthy'.
In the word 'feather', the underlined letters 'th' are pronounced as the voiced dental fricative /ð/. Similarly, in 'worthy', the digraph 'th' is pronounced as /ð/, making them exact phonetic matches.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the consonant sound represented by the underlined letters in the target word
The underlined digraph 'th' in 'feather' produces the voiced dental fricative sound, phonetically represented as /ð/.
Determining the precise phonetic symbol of the target sound is necessary for comparison.
2
Analyze the pronunciation of the digraph 'th' in each given option
'breath' produces /θ/, 'worthy' produces /ð/, 'hearth' produces /θ/, and 'depth' produces /θ/.
Phonetic transcription helps isolate the target consonant sound from visually identical spellings.
3
Select the option that matches the target consonant sound /ð/
'worthy' contains the identical voiced dental fricative /ð/ sound.
Matching /ð/ in 'feather' with /ð/ in 'worthy' yields the correct response.
