From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that has the same consonant sounds as the one represented by the letters underlined. Gritty
A. asked B. sachet C. depot D. wrestle
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
When you transcribe the word ‘gritty’ or pronounce it /grIti/ , the ‘t’ in the word is heard or visible, so it is not a silent letter. The answer to this question is ‘A’ asked /a:skt/ or /aeskt/ because it is in a past form and some past forms changes in sound. The (‘-ed) there has the consonant sound ‘-t’ while other words have their ‘t’ in silent forms. ‘Sachet’ /sæjeil/ ‘depot’ /depæs/ or /di:pot/ and ‘wrestle’ /’resei/.
