  • AngstContains a final three-consonant cluster (/ŋst/)
  • TwistContains both an initial two-consonant cluster (/tw/) and a final two-consonant cluster (/st/)
  • SubtleContains no consonant cluster at the end because the letter 'b' is silent

Cevap

'Splendid' matches 'Contains an initial three-consonant cluster (/spl/)'; 'Angst' matches 'Contains a final three-consonant cluster (/ŋst/)'; 'Twist' matches 'Contains both an initial two-consonant cluster (/tw/) and a final two-consonant cluster (/st/)'; 'Subtle' matches 'Contains no consonant cluster at the end because the letter 'b' is silent'.
Each word is matched according to its actual spoken consonant sounds: 'Splendid' starts with three spoken consonants (/spl/), 'Angst' ends with three spoken consonants (/ŋst/), 'Twist' features two-consonant clusters at both its start (/tw/) and end (/st/), and 'Subtle' has a silent 'b', meaning no /bt/ cluster exists in speech.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the phonetic pronunciation of each given word rather than its spelling.
'Splendid' is /splɛndɪd/, 'Angst' is /æŋst/, 'Twist' is /twɪst/, and 'Subtle' is /ˈsʌtl/.
Consonant clusters depend strictly on sequence of spoken consonant phonemes, not orthographic letters.
2
Identify initial and final consonant phoneme sequences for each word.
'Splendid' starts with /spl/ (3 consonants). 'Angst' ends with /ŋst/ (3 consonants). 'Twist' has /tw/ at the start and /st/ at the end. 'Subtle' features a silent letter 'b', leaving only a single /t/ sound before the syllabic /l/.
Phonological awareness isolates silent letters and accurately groups adjacent consonant sounds.
3
Match each word to its corresponding structural description.
All four words are matched to their precise phonological cluster profiles.
Verification confirms exact alignment between phonetic structure and description.
