In the following question, choose the option that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined. bathe

Answer Details

The word "bathe" has the vowel sound **/eɪ/**, which is represented by the underlined "a". This vowel sound is a diphthong, meaning it consists of two vowel sounds gliding together to form one sound. The sound **/eɪ/** is similar to the vowel sound in the word "face".

Let's analyze the options to determine which one has the same vowel sound:

• "Rake" has the vowel sound **/eɪ/**, which is the same as in "bathe".
• "Tear" can have two vowel sounds: **/ɪə/** as in "tear" (rip) or **/ɛə/** as in "tear" (a liquid drop), neither of which matches **/eɪ/**.
• "Bath" has the vowel sound **/æ/**, which is different from **/eɪ/**.
• "Care" has the vowel sound **/ɛə/**, which does not match **/eɪ/**.

Thus, the word "rake" shares the same vowel sound **/eɪ/** as the underlined vowel sound in "bathe".
