In this question, choose the option that has the same consonant sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined.

time

  1. thyme ✓
  2. dime
  3. thing
  4. length
Explanation

The letter “t” in “time” is the sound /t/.

“Thyme” is pronounced /taɪm/, so its “th” is also /t/. Do not be fooled by the spelling. “Thing” and “length” have the /θ/ sound, and “dime” begins with /d/.
