pure — choose the word that has the same vowel sound as the one represented by the underlined letter(s)

The question asks which word has the same vowel sound as the underlined part of "pure". The underline isn't visible here, so I'll assume it's the "ure" in "pure", which is the diphthong /ʊə/ (or /jʊə/ in the full word).

Step 1: Find the sound in "pure"

• "pure" is pronounced /pjʊə/ (British English).
• The vowel sound is the centring diphthong /ʊə/, with the /j/ before it.

Step 2: Check each option

• A. favour /ˈfeɪvə/. The ending is the schwa /ə/, so it doesn't match.
• B. fur /fɜː/. This is the long vowel /ɜː/, so it doesn't match.
• C. furore /fjʊˈrɔːri/ (also /ˈfjʊərɔː/). The first syllable "fu-" is /fjʊə/ in the traditional British pronunciation, the same /jʊə/ sound as in "pure". This matches.
• D. schwa /ʃwɑː/. The vowel is /ɑː/, so it doesn't match.

Step 3: Answer The best match is C. furore. Its opening syllable "fur-" has the same /(j)ʊə/ sound as "pure", and the other options have /ə/, /ɜː/ and /ɑː/.

Tip: The /ʊə/ sound is found in words like pure, cure, sure, tour, poor. Don't be misled by "fur", which looks similar in spelling but has /ɜː/ (as in bird, her). In vowel-sound questions, always go by pronunciation, not spelling.
