Cevap

The word 'sausage' contains the same monophthong sound /ɒ/ as 'yacht'.
The underlined letter 'a' in 'yacht' is pronounced as the short open back rounded pure vowel /ɒ/. The word 'sausage' also features this exact short monophthong sound /ɒ/ in its primary syllable (/ˈsɒsɪdʒ/).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the phonetic transcription of the target word
The word 'yacht' is transcribed as /jɒt/, where the underlined letter 'a' represents the short pure vowel (monophthong) /ɒ/.
Correct phonetic identification of the target sound is required before evaluating distractors.
2
Analyze the vowel sounds of the given options
'sausage' = /ˈsɒsɪdʒ/ (/ɒ/);
'yawn' = /jɔːn/ (/ɔː/);
'pass' = /pɑːs/ (/ɑː/);
'yack' = /jæk/ (/æ/).
Transcribing options reveals the accurate monophthong sound in each candidate word.
3
Match the target sound to the corresponding option
'sausage' is the only option that shares the monophthong /ɒ/.
Selecting the word with the matching pure vowel sound completes the assessment.
