Zorluk: ZorConsonant Sounds

Match each word in Column A with the word in Column B that contains the identical consonant sound represented by the highlighted letter(s).

  • epistle (sound of 'st')psalm (sound of 'ps')
  • ghost (sound of 'gh')guile (sound of 'gu')
  • thistle (sound of 'th')thorough (sound of 'th')
  • chauffeur (sound of 'ch')chivalry (sound of 'ch')

Cevap

'epistle' matches 'psalm' (/s/ sound); 'ghost' matches 'guile' (/ɡ/ sound); 'thistle' matches 'thorough' (/θ/ sound); and 'chauffeur' matches 'chivalry' (/ʃ/ sound).
Matching relies strictly on phonetic transcription rather than spelling. 'epistle' and 'psalm' both realize the consonant sound /s/; 'ghost' and 'guile' both realize the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/; 'thistle' and 'thorough' both realize the voiceless dental fricative /θ/; and 'chauffeur' and 'chivalry' both realize the voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the target consonant sound in each left-column word
'epistle' has silent 't' giving /s/; 'ghost' has digraph 'gh' giving /ɡ/; 'thistle' has 'th' giving /θ/; 'chauffeur' has French 'ch' giving /ʃ/.
Determining exact IPA consonant phonemes requires ignoring spelling traps such as silent letters or loanword orthography.
2
Analyze the consonant sound of highlighted letters in each right-column word
'chivalry' has /ʃ/; 'guile' has /ɡ/; 'psalm' has silent 'p' giving /s/; 'thorough' has /θ/.
Phonetic matching relies on sound identity, not orthographic similarity.
3
Pair items with identical consonant phonemes
'epistle' pairs with 'psalm' (/s/), 'ghost' pairs with 'guile' (/ɡ/), 'thistle' pairs with 'thorough' (/θ/), and 'chauffeur' pairs with 'chivalry' (/ʃ/).
Each pair shares the precise consonant phoneme across different spelling patterns.
