For this question, choose the option that has the same consonant sound as the ones represented by the letter(s) underlined.
chess
Answer Details
The underlined letters in chess are ch, which produce the voiceless postalveolar affricate sound /tʃ/. This is the same sound heard at the beginning of words like "church," "child," and "chain."
Looking at the options:
soak begins with the /s/ sound (voiceless alveolar fricative), which is different.
jazz begins with /dʒ/ (voiced postalveolar affricate) - similar in articulation but voiced, not voiceless.
set begins with /s/, the same as "soak."
chain begins with /tʃ/, which is exactly the same consonant sound as "ch" in "chess."
The correct answer is chain, because both "chess" and "chain" start with the /tʃ/ sound.
