Identifying phonetic transcriptions reveals the specific vowel glides regardless of spelling.
2
Analyze the vowel glides in each word on the right.
'there' contains /eə/, 'foe' contains /əʊ/, 'fear' contains /ɪə/, and 'boor' contains /ʊə/.
Phonetic analysis isolates the target diphthong sound for comparison.
3
Match words sharing identical diphthong vowel sounds.
'pier' pairs with 'fear', 'flair' pairs with 'there', 'lure' pairs with 'boor', and 'dough' pairs with 'foe'.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: drought

Cevap

The word 'drought' is the correct answer because it contains the diphthong /aʊ/, matching 'bough'.
The word 'bough' is phonetically transcribed as /baʊ/, featuring the diphthong /aʊ/. Among the given choices, 'drought' (/draʊt/) is the only word that shares this exact diphthong sound.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the phonetic vowel sound in the target word 'bough'.
The word 'bough' is transcribed phonetically as /baʊ/, containing the diphthong /aʊ/.
Accurate sound identification requires isolating the glide sound represented by the letter sequence '-ough' in 'bough'.
2
Transcribe and analyze the vowel sounds of each provided option.
'drought' is /draʊt/ (/aʊ/), 'dough' is /dəʊ/ (/əʊ/), 'rough' is /rʌf/ (/ʌ/), and 'through' is /θruː/ (/uː/).
English spelling can be deceptive; the grapheme '-ough' yields multiple distinct monophthongs and diphthongs across different words.
3
Match the target diphthong /aʊ/ with the corresponding word choice.
'drought' shares the exact /aʊ/ diphthong sound with 'bough'.
Only 'drought' replicates the precise two-target vowel glide /aʊ/.

Despite the deceptive spelling of its final syllable, the legal term contains the diphthong sound /aɪ/.
Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct word to fill in the blank is 'indict'.
The word 'indict' is pronounced /ɪnˈdaɪt/. The second syllable features a glide from the open front unrounded vowel position to the near-close front unrounded vowel position, creating the diphthong sound /aɪ/ despite the silent letter 'c'.

Examine the phonetic transcription of the word 'indict'.
The word 'indict' is phonetically transcribed as /ɪnˈdaɪt/.
The letter sequence 'ict' contains a silent 'c' and produces the diphthong sound /aɪ/ followed by /t/.
2
Verify the presence of the target diphthong sound.
The vowel sound in the second syllable glides smoothly from /a/ to /ɪ/, forming the diphthong /aɪ/.

'deign' = /deɪn/, 'friend' = /frend/, 'leopard' = /ˈlep.əd/, 'dime' = /daɪm/.
Orthographic spellings like 'ei' or 'ie' can be deceptive; exact phonetic transcription isolates the vowel sound.
3
Match the target diphthong to the correct option
'deign' correctly contains the diphthong /eɪ/.
The silent letter sequence 'g' does not prevent 'ei' from producing the /eɪ/ diphthong sound.
