Question

Choose the option that has the same consonant sound as the one represented by the underlined letter(s).

English?

Options

A)
end
B)
thin
C)
think
D)
edge

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The question requires you to choose the option with the same consonant sound as the underlined letters in the word "English."

In this case, the underlined letters are ng. The ng sound is a nasal consonant sound, which is produced when the back of the tongue touches the soft palate (the roof of your mouth at the back) and the airflow goes through the nose.

Now, let's examine the options:

Option A: end - The consonant sound in this option is /d/, which is not the same as /ŋ/ (ng).

Option B: thin - The consonant sound in this option is /θ/ (the "th" sound), which is different from /ŋ/ (ng).

Option C: think - The consonant sound in this option is /ŋk/, which includes the /ŋ/ (ng) sound. This is the correct option.

Option D: edge - The consonant sound in this option is /dʒ/ (the "j" sound), which is not the same as /ŋ/ (ng).

So, the correct answer is Option C: think, as it contains the same consonant sound /ŋ/ (ng) as in the word "English."
