Question 1 Report

From the word lettered A to D, choose the word that has the same consonant sound(s) as the one represented by the letter(s) undelined 
 

patient

Answer Details
The word that has the same consonant sound as the "t" sound in "patient" is "sachet". The "t" sound in "patient" is an unvoiced alveolar stop consonant. The "ch" sound in "sachet" is also an unvoiced alveopalatal affricate consonant, which means that both sounds are produced by blocking the airflow at a specific place in the mouth and then releasing it suddenly. Therefore, "sachet" has the same consonant sound as the "t" sound in "patient". The other options, "measure", "seizure", and "patent", do not have the same consonant sound as the "t" sound in "patient".
