Concept:The given phonetic symbol is the velar nasal consonant /ŋ/.
We must identify the word that actually contains this sound in its pronunciation.
Explanation:The sound /ŋ/ is the “ng” sound heard at the end of a word like “sing” or “living”.
It is produced with the back of the tongue touching the soft palate.
Now check each option carefully.
A. “know” is pronounced /nəʊ/ and has no /ŋ/ sound.
B. “chance” is pronounced /tʃɑːns/ and has no /ŋ/ sound.
C. “lean” is pronounced /liːn/ and ends with /n/, not /ŋ/.
D. “living” is pronounced /ˈlɪvɪŋ/ and clearly ends with the /ŋ/ sound.
Therefore, only “living” matches the given phonetic symbol.
Answer:D. living
