Choose from the options A to D, the one which has the same initial consonant sound as the word underlined in the sentences below.
Solution:
Concept:In "psalm", the letter "p" is silent, so the word begins with the /s/ sound.
Explanation:"Psalm" is pronounced /sɑːm/.
Its first sound is /s/.
Now check each option:
"Shall" is pronounced /ʃæl/ and starts with /ʃ/.
"Palm" is pronounced /pɑːm/ and starts with /p/.
"Sand" is pronounced /sænd/ and starts with /s/.
"Page" is pronounced /peɪdʒ/ and starts with /p/.
So only "sand" matches the initial sound of "psalm".
Answer:Option C (sand)
