Zorluk: KolayConsonant Clusters

Match each English word on the left with the correct description of its consonant cluster structure on the right.

  • WreckContains a silent initial letter and starts with a single consonant sound (no initial cluster)
  • SpringContains an initial cluster of three consonant sounds
  • HandContains a final cluster of two consonant sounds
  • TemptsContains a final cluster of four consonant sounds

Cevap

'Wreck' matches the description of having a silent initial letter with no initial cluster; 'Spring' matches the initial cluster of three consonant sounds (/spr/); 'Hand' matches the final cluster of two consonant sounds (/nd/); 'Tempts' matches the final cluster of four consonant sounds (/mpts/).
Each word accurately corresponds to its phonetic cluster structure: 'wreck' starts with a single consonant sound /r/ due to silent 'w'; 'spring' begins with the three-consonant cluster /spr/; 'hand' ends with the two-consonant cluster /nd/; and 'tempts' ends with the four-consonant cluster /mpts/.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the phonological structure of each word by focusing on actual spoken consonant sounds rather than spelling letters.
'Wreck' is pronounced /rɛk/, 'Spring' is /sprɪŋ/, 'Hand' is /hænd/, and 'Tempts' is /tɛmpts/.
Consonant clusters represent sequences of spoken consonant sounds without intervening vowel sounds, so silent letters must be excluded from sound counts.
2
Count the number of adjacent consonant sounds at the initial or final position of each word.
'Wreck' has 1 initial consonant sound (/r/); 'Spring' has 3 initial consonant sounds (/s-p-r/); 'Hand' has 2 final consonant sounds (/n-d/); 'Tempts' has 4 final consonant sounds (/m-p-t-s/).
This establishes the exact cluster size and position for each term.
3
Match each word to its corresponding descriptive statement.
All four items pair uniquely with their exact cluster descriptions.
Correct matching demonstrates accurate identification of consonant clusters and awareness of silent letters.
