WAEC English 2020 Paper

Concept:This question tests the ability to identify identical consonant sounds between a target word and one of the given options.However, the target word with its underlined letters is not shown in the given question.Therefore, the required sound match cannot be checked.Explanation:The prompt refers to "the letter(s) underlined," but no actual word containing underlined letters is provided.Since the reference word is absent, I can only examine the four options individually.Option A, "wards," ends with the consonant sound $/\mathrm{dz}/$.Option B, "costs," ends with the consonant sequence $/\mathrm{sts}/$.Option C, "wins," and Option D, "dines," both end with $/\mathrm{nz}/$.Identifying these endings is possible, but there is no underlined sound in a source word to compare them with.For a valid match, both the original underlined sound and the possible option sounds must be known.Because that original sound is missing, a phonetic comparison cannot be made.Consequently, none of the options can be confirmed as the correct choice.Answer:Cannot be determined from the given information.
