From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that contains the sound represented by the given phonetic symbol.
/ j /
Answer Details
The word that contains the sound represented by the phonetic symbol /j/ is "judge".
The symbol /j/ represents the "j" sound, which is a voiced palato-alveolar affricate. This sound is produced by bringing the tongue towards the hard palate to partially block the airflow, and then releasing it to allow air to escape through a narrow channel between the tongue and the alveolar ridge.
The word "judge" contains the /j/ sound at the beginning of the word, where the tongue is pressed against the hard palate to make this sound. The other options, "cue", "quit", and "cheer", do not contain this sound.
