From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined rear

Answer Details

The word that has the same vowel sound as the underlined letters in "rear" is "mere." The underlined letters in "rear" are "ea", which together make the sound /ɪə/ (as in "ear" or "fear"). The word "mere" also contains the same vowel sound, /ɪə/, in its first syllable. The other options, "realm," "reed," and "mare," contain different vowel sounds than the one in "rear." So, they are not the correct answer.
