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
debt
Answer Details
The word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined in "debt" is "said."
The underlined letters in "debt" are "e" and "b," and the vowel sound represented by these letters is /ɛ/. The word "said" contains the same vowel sound /ɛ/ in the middle of the word. The other options, "doubt," "gain," and "eke," do not contain the same vowel sound as "debt." "Doubt" contains the vowel sound /aʊ/, "gain" contains the vowel sound /eɪ/, and "eke" contains the vowel sound /iː/. Therefore, the correct answer is "said."
