Choose the word that has the same vowel sound as the underlined letter(s) Children are not allowed in the park ….. dark.

  1. after ✓
  2. over
  3. at
  4. in
Explanation

The underlined “a” in “park” and “dark” is the long vowel /ɑː/.

In “after” (/ˈɑːftə/), the first vowel is the same long /ɑː/ sound.

“At” has the short /æ/ sound, which is the tempting wrong choice. “Over” has /əʊ/ and “in” has /ɪ/.
