Choose the word with the same vowel sound as the one in bracket. Band[a]ge

  1. cage
  2. kite
  3. cacophony ✓
  4. says
Explanation

The vowel in the first syllable of “bandage” is a short “a”, /æ/.

“Cage” has /eɪ/, “kite” has /aɪ/ and “says” has /e/. None of these matches.

“Cacophony” is the only option with a short “a” sound in its first syllable, so it is the closest match.
