Choose the word that has the same vowel sound as the underlined letter(s) handle

  1. rehash ✓
  2. hour
  3. honour
  4. choir
Explanation

The “a” in handle is the short vowel /æ/, as in “cat”.

rehash has the same /æ/ in its stressed syllable (re-HASH).

hour has /aʊ/, honour has /ɒ/ and choir has /aɪ/.
