Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary monophthong in 'blood'
Pronounced /ˈblʌd/, the vowel sound is /ʌ/.
The spelling 'oo' here produces the short open-mid back unrounded monophthong rather than /uː/ or /ʊ/.
2
Identify the primary monophthong in 'leopard'
Pronounced /ˈlepəd/, the stressed vowel sound is /e/.
The digraph 'eo' represents the short front unrounded monophthong found in 'bed'.
3
Identify the primary monophthong in 'pretty'
Pronounced /ˈprɪti/, the initial vowel sound is /ɪ/.
The letter 'e' is an exception to standard orthography and represents the short near-close front unrounded vowel.
4
Identify the primary monophthong in 'heart'
Pronounced /hɑːt/, the vowel sound is /ɑː/.
The letter sequence 'ear' produces the open back unrounded long monophthong.
