Choose the option that has the same consonant sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined.

Watch ed

  1. address
  2. letter ✓
  3. match
  4. lived
Explanation

The ending “-ed” in “watched” is pronounced /t/, because “watch” ends in the voiceless sound /tʃ/.

“Letter” has the /t/ sound in the middle. “Match” has /tʃ/, which is a different sound, while “lived” ends in /d/ and “address” has /d/ too.
