Choose from the options lettered A - E the one that contains the sound segment represented by the given phonetic symbol /g/

Analyze the question: You are asked to find the word that contains the sound /g/ (the voiced velar plosive, as in "go"). Focus on how each word is pronounced, not how it is spelled.

Concept: The letter "g" can represent different sounds:

• /g/ as in go, good
• /dʒ/ as in gem, biology
• Silent, as in sign, foreign
• Part of the nasal /ŋ/ as in sing

Step-by-step check:

• A. biology /baɪˈɒlədʒi/ - the "g" is pronounced /dʒ/, not /g/. ✗
• B. foreign /ˈfɒrɪn/ - the "g" is silent. ✗
• C. good /gʊd/ - begins with the plosive /g/. ✓
• D. sign /saɪn/ - the "g" is silent. ✗
• E. sing /sɪŋ/ - ends with the nasal /ŋ/. The spelling "ng" represents one sound, and no separate /g/ is pronounced. ✗

Answer: The only word containing the /g/ sound is good, which is option C.

Tip: When a question asks for a sound, say each word aloud and listen to it. Do not trust the spelling. Remember the traps: "-ng" at the end of a word is usually /ŋ/ (sing, ring), "gn" often has a silent g (sign, foreign, design), and "g" before i/e/y can be /dʒ/ (biology, giant).
