Choose the option that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined. 

money

Antwortdetails

In the word "money," the vowel sound produced by the underlined letters is similar to the short "u" sound we hear in words like "fun" or "sun." When matching this sound to the options provided, we need to listen for a sound that mimics this short "u" sound.


Let's analyze the options:


  • Monday: Contains a vowel sound similar to the short "u," exactly like in "money."
  • Go: Has an "o" sound, pronounced as a long vowel, which doesn't match the sound in "money."
  • Mouth: Contains a diphthong, a combination of two sounds ("ow"), which is different from the sound in "money."
  • Rock: Contains a short "o" sound, which doesn't match the short "u" sound.

Therefore, the appropriate choice is Monday, as it shares the same vowel sound as "money."
