Choose the word that has the same CONSONANT SOUND as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined. wash

  1. nation ✓
  2. occasion
  3. treasure
  4. equation

The sh in wash is /ʃ/. In nation, the letters ti also make /ʃ/ (NAY-shun).

occasion, treasure and equation have the /ʒ/ sound, as in “vision”. That is a different consonant.
