Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2014 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

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

/^/

Answer Details
The word that contains the sound represented by the phonetic symbol /^/ is "tough". The symbol /^/ represents the "uh" sound, which is also known as the schwa sound. It is a weak and unstressed vowel sound that is often found in unstressed syllables of words. Out of the four words provided, only "tough" contains the schwa sound in the second syllable, which is pronounced as /tʌf/. The word "bush" contains the "uh" sound as well, but it is represented by a different phonetic symbol (/ʊ/). The words "cop" and "loot" do not contain the schwa sound. Therefore, the correct answer is "tough".
