Choose from the options A to D, the one which has the same vowel sound as the word underlined in the sentences below.
Solution:
Concept:Find the option with the same vowel sound as the underlined word "queue".
Explanation:"Queue" is pronounced /kjuː/: the consonants /k/ and /j/ followed by the long vowel /uː/.
"Few" /fjuː/ has the same /uː/ vowel (and even the same /juː/ ending).
"Fee" /fiː/ has /iː/; "coal" /kəʊl/ has /əʊ/; "quest" /kwest/ has /e/.
Key point: The paper printed option B as "cool" /kuːl/, which also has the /uː/ vowel, so two options were correct; B has been changed to "coal".
Answer:Option D (few)
