Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following sentences.
A. piracy B.animation C.episode D.legible
A. munching B.approach C.chaos D.touch
Ah, the classic phonetic conundrum! Let's tackle these sound puzzles.
In the first set, A. "piracy" differs in pronunciation. The underlined part 'i' is pronounced /ˈpaɪrəsi/, while in "animation", "episode", and "legible" it's pronounced /ɪ/. So A it is!
The second set is a bit chaotic (pun intended). C. "chaos" is the odd one out because the 'ch' sounds like /k/ (as in "kay-oss"), whereas in "munching", "approach", and "touch", the 'ch' is pronounced /tʃ/ (as in "ch").
