Question 1 Report

Choose from the options the word that has the same consonant sound as the one represented by the underlined?Caliph?
Answer Details
The consonant sound represented by the underlined word "Caliph" is /f/. The only option that has the same consonant sound is "powerful." The letter "p" at the beginning of "powerful" is pronounced with the same /f/ sound as the "ph" in "Caliph." Therefore, the correct answer is "powerful." Here's a breakdown of the other options and why they do not have the same consonant sound: - Presently: This word contains the consonant sound /z/ as represented by the letter "z." - Perhaps: This word contains the consonant sound /s/ as represented by the letter "s." - Opponent: This word contains the consonant sound /p/ as represented by the letter "p."
