Question

The transcription /θɪŋk/ represents which word?

• A. Thank
• B. Think
• C. Sink
• D. Thick

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Think

The transcription /θɪŋk/ represents the word "think."

• /θ/ → Voiceless dental fricative (as in "thin")

• /ɪ/ → Short lax vowel (as in "bit")

• /ŋ/ → Voiced velar nasal (as in "sing")

• /k/ → Voiceless velar plosive (as in "kick")

Thus, /θɪŋk/ corresponds to "think."
