In this question, choose the option that has the same consonant sound as the one represented by the letter(s) underlined.
boys
Explanation
The “s” in “boys” is pronounced /z/, because it follows a vowel sound.
“Exist” is pronounced /ɪɡˈzɪst/, so its “x” gives a /z/ sound. “Lice” has /s/, “leave” has /v/ and “measure” has /ʒ/, so they do not match.
