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  hind

Question analysis: The underlined letters in "hind" are not shown, but the word's key consonant is almost certainly the h, pronounced /h/ (as in "hind" /haɪnd/). We need the option with the same /h/ sound in the underlined position.

Concept: In English spelling, "h" can be pronounced /h/, silent, or part of a digraph (like "rh", "ch", "sh").

Checking each option:

• A. rhyme: The "rh" is pronounced /r/, and the h is silent. This does not have /h/.
• B. vehicle /ˈviːəkl/: The "h" is silent. This is a common trap, and it does not have /h/.
• C. cheetah: The "ch" is /tʃ/, and the final "h" is silent. Neither matches the /h/ sound.
• D. inhale /ɪnˈheɪl/: The "h" is clearly pronounced /h/. This matches "hind".

Answer: D, inhale, is the only word where "h" is pronounced /h/, just as in "hind".

Note: The underlined part was not visible in your question. If the underlining was on a different letter (for example the "d" or "n"), the answer could change, so check the original paper.

Tip: For "same sound" questions, say each word aloud and note whether the underlined letter is actually pronounced. Silent "h" appears in words like vehicle, hour, honest, rhyme, ghost. Watch for these traps.
