Choose the word that has the same vowel sound as the one in bracket, from questions below.H[ei]r

  1. Care ✓
  2. Near
  3. Mere
  4. Weird
Explanation

The word heir is pronounced like ‘air’, with the vowel sound /eə/. Care has the same sound.

Near, mere and weird all have the /ɪə/ sound, as in ‘ear’. Near is the tempting choice because it also ends in ‘r’, but its vowel sound is different.
