Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2017 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that contains the sound represented by the given phonetic symbol.

/ʒ/

Answer Details
The phonetic symbol /ʒ/ represents the "zh" sound in English, as in the word "pleasure." Out of the options provided, the word that contains the /ʒ/ sound is "pressure." In "pressure," the "s" and "u" combination creates the /ʒ/ sound. This sound is common in English and is typically spelled with the letter "s" followed by a vowel. The other options, "nurture," "treasure," and "champagne," do not contain the /ʒ/ sound. Instead, they contain the sounds /tʃ/ (as in "ch" in "champagne"), /tʃ/ (as in "tch" in "nurture"), and /ʃ/ (as in "sh" in "treasure").
