Concept:Identify the word whose pronunciation contains the sound represented by the given phonetic symbol.
Explanation:The target sound here is the /r/ consonant sound.
In "rare", the /r/ sound is clearly pronounced at the beginning.
The word "air" is written with the letter "r", but in standard British English that final "r" is silent.
So "air" does not contain the /r/ sound when spoken.
The words "ice" and "fuel" also have no /r/ sound in their pronunciation.
Therefore, only "rare" contains the given sound.
Answer:A. rare
