Concept:The given phonetic symbol represents a specific consonant sound, and we must identify which option has that sound in its pronunciation.
Explanation:The phonetic symbol is /θ/, the voiceless dental fricative sound.
To produce /θ/, place the tongue lightly against the upper teeth and push air out, as in "thin" or "bath".
Now examine each word's typical pronunciation:
"attribute" is pronounced /əˈtrɪbjuːt/, which has no /θ/ sound.
"wonder" is pronounced /ˈwʌndə/, which has no /θ/ sound.
"surrender" is pronounced /səˈrɛndə/, which has no /θ/ sound.
"authentic" is pronounced /ɔːˈθɛntɪk/; here the letters "th" together represent the /θ/ sound.
Therefore, only "authentic" contains the sound indicated by the phonetic symbol.
Answer:D. authentic
