Concept:The underlined letter is pronounced with its actual vowel sound in the word, not with the letter name.
Explanation:"caprice" is pronounced /kəˈpriːs/.
The underlined "a" is unstressed, so it is pronounced as /ə/ (schwa).
Check the options for the same sound.
"bed" has /e/, "matrix" has /æ/ or /eɪ/, and "cape" has /eɪ/.
"concern" is pronounced /kənˈsɜːn/.
Its first syllable has the schwa sound /ə/, just like the underlined "a" in "caprice".
Answer:C. concern
