Choose from the options A to D, the one which has the same final consonant sound as the word underlined in the sentences below.
Solution:
Concept:This question belongs to the section "the same
final consonant sound as the underlined word", not the vowel-sound section. "Salts" /sɔːlts/ ends in the consonant cluster /lts/.
Explanation:sands /sændz/: ends in /ndz/
stalls /stɔːlz/: ends in /lz/ (same vowel as "salts", but the final consonants differ)
carts /kɑːts/: ends in /ts/ (no /l/)
cults /kʌlts/: ends in /lts/ (same as "salts")
Key point: The stored key gave B (stalls), which matches the vowel of "salts", but the instruction asks for the final consonant sound; only "cults" ends in /lts/.
Answer:Option D (cults)
