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

  1. king
  2. nap ✓
  3. kite
  4. keep
Explanation

In knight, the “k” is silent. The sound at the start is /n/.

nap also begins with /n/.

king, kite and keep begin with /k/, which is the silent letter in knight, so they are wrong.
