uncle
Answer Details
To solve this question, we need to focus on the consonant sound represented by the underlined letter(s) in the word "uncle", which is **"n"**. We want to find an option with the **same "n" consonant sound**.
Let's examine each option:
Bring: This word contains the consonant sounds "br" and "ng". The "n" sound in "bring" is similar, but is part of the "ng" sound, which makes it different as a consonant combination.
Long: This word ends with "ng", which contains a nasalized "n" sound, but is combined with "g" to form a distinct sound, different from the standalone "n" in "uncle".
Bang: This word also ends with "ng", similar to "long", which forms a nasalized "ng" sound, not a standalone "n" like in "uncle".
Ink: This word has the standalone consonant sound "n" right after the vowel "i", similar to the "n" present in "uncle".
In conclusion, the word "ink" has the **same consonant sound** as the underline "n" in "uncle".
