The correct matches are: 'drought' pairs with 'browse' (/aʊ/), 'paradigm' pairs with 'guile' (/aɪ/), 'feint' pairs with 'stray' (/eɪ/), and 'croak' pairs with 'foam' (/əʊ/).
Each left-column word is correctly matched to its right-column partner sharing the identical diphthong sound despite deceptive spelling: 'drought' and 'browse' both produce /aʊ/, 'paradigm' and 'guile' both produce /aɪ/, 'feint' and 'stray' both produce /eɪ/, and 'croak' and 'foam' both produce /əʊ/.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary diphthong sound in each target word on the left.
'drought' contains /aʊ/, 'paradigm' contains /aɪ/ in its final syllable, 'feint' contains /eɪ/, and 'croak' contains /əʊ/.
Phonetic identification requires looking past non-standard orthography such as the silent 'g' in 'paradigm' or the multi-letter 'ough' spelling in 'drought'.
2
Analyze the vowel sounds in the right column words.
'browse' contains /aʊ/, 'guile' contains /aɪ/, 'stray' contains /eɪ/, and 'foam' contains /əʊ/.
Matching requires isolating the gliding vowel quality regardless of spelling differences.
3
Form the corresponding pairs based on identical diphthong glides.
'drought' -> 'browse' (/aʊ/); 'paradigm' -> 'guile' (/aɪ/); 'feint' -> 'stray' (/eɪ/); 'croak' -> 'foam' (/əʊ/).

Each word pair shares an identical diphthong sound despite contrasting spelling patterns: 'sleigh' and 'champagne' both contain /eɪ/; 'brooch' and 'furlough' both contain /əʊ/; 'indict' and 'aisle' both contain /aɪ/; 'weird' and 'pierce' both contain /ɪə/.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Transcribe the phonetic vowel sounds for each target word in the left column.
'sleigh' is pronounced with /eɪ/, 'brooch' with /əʊ/, 'indict' with /aɪ/, and 'weird' with /ɪə/.
English spelling frequently masks true phonetic structures through silent letters or non-standard graphemes.
2
Analyze the primary diphthong sounds present in the words in the right column.
'champagne' contains /eɪ/, 'furlough' contains /əʊ/, 'aisle' contains /aɪ/, and 'pierce' contains /ɪə/.
Isolating the stressed vowel nucleus reveals the exact sound identity.
3
Form matches between items from both columns based on identical diphthong categories.

Cevap

'strands' pairs with a three-consonant initial and three-consonant final cluster structure; 'glimpse' pairs with a two-consonant initial and three-consonant final cluster structure; 'wrist' pairs with a single initial consonant (no cluster) due to a silent letter and a two-consonant final cluster structure; 'clasp' pairs with a two-consonant initial and two-consonant final cluster structure.
Each word is matched strictly by evaluating its spoken phonetic structure rather than its spelling. 'strands' (/strændz/) has 3 initial and 3 final consonant sounds. 'glimpse' (/ɡlɪmps/) has 2 initial and 3 final consonant sounds. 'wrist' (/rɪst/) starts with a single consonant sound due to silent 'w' and ends with a 2-consonant cluster. 'clasp' (/klæsp/) has 2 initial and 2 final consonant sounds.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Transcribe 'strands' phonetically to analyze its consonant boundaries.
The phonetic form /strændz/ reveals three initial consonant sounds (/s/, /t/, /r/) and three final consonant sounds (/n/, /d/, /z/).
Identify both initial and final cluster lengths accurately based on spoken sounds.
2
Transcribe 'glimpse' phonetically to analyze its consonant boundaries.
The phonetic form /ɡlɪmps/ reveals two initial consonant sounds (/ɡ/, /l/) and three final consonant sounds (/m/, /p/, /s/).
Determine cluster composition regardless of spelling.
3
Identify silent orthographic elements in 'wrist' before counting phonemes.
The letter 'w' is unpronounced, producing /rɪst/ with one initial consonant (/r/) and two final consonants (/s/, /t/).
Avoid miscounting orthographic letters as spoken consonant sounds.
4
Transcribe 'clasp' phonetically to analyze its consonant boundaries.
The phonetic form /klæsp/ reveals two initial consonant sounds (/k/, /l/) and two final consonant sounds (/s/, /p/).
Complete the matching by mapping the remaining word to its two-consonant initial and final structure.

Cevap

The correct matching pairs are: 'seat' matches /i:/, 'sit' matches /ɪ/, 'cat' matches /æ/, and 'cart' matches /ɑ:/.
Each English word is correctly paired with its exact IPA monophthong symbol based on standard pronunciation rules: 'seat' produces the long /i:/ sound, 'sit' produces the short /ɪ/ sound, 'cat' produces the short /æ/ sound, and 'cart' produces the long /ɑ:/ sound.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the vowel sound in 'seat' and 'sit'
'seat' uses the long pure vowel /i:/ while 'sit' uses the short pure vowel /ɪ/.
Vowel duration (length) and tongue position differentiate the long monophthong /i:/ from the short monophthong /ɪ/.
2
Analyze the vowel sound in 'cat' and 'cart'
'cat' uses the short open front monophthong /æ/, whereas 'cart' uses the long open back monophthong /ɑ:/.
Phonetic rules classify 'cat' under the short vowel sound /æ/ and 'cart' (where 'ar' acts as a long vowel indicator) under /ɑ:/.

Cevap

The word 'sixths' matches the four-sound final cluster (/ksθs/); 'splendid' matches the three-sound initial cluster (/spl/); 'bursts' matches the three-sound final cluster (/sts/); and 'debtor' matches the presence of a silent letter ('b') with no medial cluster.
Each word is correctly paired based on its spoken phonemic structure: 'sixths' contains a four-consonant final cluster (/ksθs/); 'splendid' contains a three-consonant initial cluster (/spl/); 'bursts' contains a three-consonant final cluster (/sts/) in RP English; and 'debtor' contains a silent 'b', resulting in no medial cluster.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Transcribe each word phonetically according to standard spoken English rules rather than orthographic spelling.
'sixths' = /sɪksθs/, 'splendid' = /ˈsplen.dɪd/, 'bursts' = /bɜːsts/, 'debtor' = /ˈdet.ə/.
Consonant clusters are defined strictly by sequences of adjacent consonant phonemes in speech, not written letters.
2
Identify silent letters and non-rhotic vowel lengtheners that affect the count of spoken consonant sounds.
In 'debtor', the letter 'b' is silent. In 'bursts', the 'r' modifies the vowel without introducing a consonant phoneme in standard RP.
Orthography can obscure actual pronunciation by including unpronounced letters or vowel indicators.
3
Count the number of contiguous consonant phonemes in initial, medial, or final positions for each target word.
'sixths' has 4 final consonants (/k-s-θ-s/); 'splendid' has 3 initial consonants (/s-p-l/); 'bursts' has 3 final consonants (/s-t-s/); 'debtor' has no medial cluster.
Pairing each phonetic count and position to its corresponding structural description establishes the correct solution.

Cevap

The correct matches pair 'rough' with 'graphic' (/f/), 'choir' with 'chemist' (/k/), 'scene' with 'psalm' (/s/), and 'badge' with 'giant' (/dʒ/).
Each item on the left is accurately matched to an item on the right based on sharing the identical consonant sound: /f/ in 'rough' and 'graphic', /k/ in 'choir' and 'chemist', /s/ in 'scene' and 'psalm', and /dʒ/ in 'badge' and 'giant'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the phonetic sound of the underlined consonant in each word on the left.
'gh' in 'rough' = /f/; 'ch' in 'choir' = /k/; 'sc' in 'scene' = /s/; 'dg' in 'badge' = /dʒ/.
English orthography uses varied letter combinations to represent the same consonant phonemes.
2
Analyze the sound corresponding to the target consonant in each item on the right.
'ph' in 'graphic' = /f/; 'ch' in 'chemist' = /k/; 'ps' in 'psalm' = /s/; 'g' in 'giant' = /dʒ/.
Matching requires identifying identical consonant phonemes regardless of spelling differences.
3
Pair the corresponding words sharing identical consonant sounds.
rough pairs with graphic; choir pairs with chemist; scene pairs with psalm; badge pairs with giant.
Each pair shares the same underlying consonant sound.

Cevap

'Quay' matches 'machine' (/iː/); 'heifer' matches 'leopard' (/e/); 'colonel' matches 'flirt' (/ɜː/); 'salmon' matches 'plait' (/æ/).
Each word pair shares an identical monophthong vowel sound despite their different spelling choices: 'quay' and 'machine' share /iː/; 'heifer' and 'leopard' share /e/; 'colonel' and 'flirt' share /ɜː/; and 'salmon' and 'plait' share /æ/.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary monophthong vowel sound in each target word on the left.
'Quay' contains /iː/, 'heifer' contains /e/, 'colonel' contains /ɜː/, and 'salmon' contains /æ/.
Irregular orthographic patterns ('uay', 'ei', 'olo', 'al') must be transcribed into standard IPA pure vowel symbols.
2
Analyze the monophthong vowel sounds in the words on the right.
'Machine' contains /iː/, 'leopard' contains /e/, 'flirt' contains /ɜː/, and 'plait' contains /æ/.
Matching requires finding corresponding phonetic equivalents regardless of spelling variations.
3
Pair each left item with its corresponding phonologically matching right item.
quay ↔ machine (/iː/), heifer ↔ leopard (/e/), colonel ↔ flirt (/ɜː/), salmon ↔ plait (/æ/).
Each pair correctly shares the exact same IPA monophthong sound.

Cevap

'Sphinx' pairs with the initial two-consonant and final three-consonant cluster profile; 'Plumber' pairs with the initial two-consonant cluster profile with no final cluster due to a silent letter; 'Exempts' pairs with the final four-consonant cluster profile; 'Strands' pairs with the initial three-consonant and final three-consonant cluster profile.
Each word is matched strictly according to its spoken phonetic transcription: 'Sphinx' has /sf/ (2 initial) and /ŋks/ (3 final); 'Plumber' has /pl/ (2 initial) and no final cluster because 'b' is silent; 'Exempts' has no initial cluster and /mpts/ (4 final); 'Strands' has /str/ (3 initial) and /ndz/ (3 final).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Transcribe each target word into its standard phonetic representation to isolate spoken consonant sounds from orthographic spelling.
'Sphinx' = /sfɪŋks/, 'Plumber' = /ˈplʌm.ə/, 'Exempts' = /ɪɡˈzempts/, 'Strands' = /strændz/.
Phonetic transcription isolates true spoken consonant clusters, bypassing silent orthographic letters.
2
Count contiguous sequences of consonant phonemes at the onset (initial position) and coda (final position) of each word.
'Sphinx' has onset /sf/ (2) and coda /ŋks/ (3); 'Plumber' has onset /pl/ (2) and no coda cluster; 'Exempts' has no onset cluster and coda /mpts/ (4); 'Strands' has onset /str/ (3) and coda /ndz/ (3).
Consonant clusters strictly consist of consecutive consonant phonemes within the same syllable marginal position.
3
Match each word to its corresponding structural description based on identified initial and final cluster lengths.
All four words are accurately mapped to their unique structural cluster descriptions.
This verifies complete phonological analysis across onset and coda clusters.
