WAEC English 2014 Paper

Concept:The underlined letters "ng" in "sing" represent the consonant sound $\text{/ŋ/}$.Explanation:"sing" is pronounced $\text{/sing/}$.Here, "ng" gives the velar nasal sound $\text{/ŋ/}$, not the sound $/g/$.Check each option for this sound.A. "bog" is $\text{/bog/}$, so it has $/g/$ at the end.B. "nagged" is $\text{/n\ae gd/}$, so it contains the sound $/g/$.C. "zonked" is $/zongkt/$, and it contains the sound $\text{/ŋ/}$ before $/k/$.D. "game" is $\text{/geim/}$, so it begins with $/g/$.Only "zonked" contains the same consonant sound $\text{/ŋ/}$.Answer:C. zonked
