Question

Which word does not contain the sound/u:/ ?

• A. food
• B. flu
• C. pull
• D. truth

Answer 1

Answer:

C. pull

"pull" does not contain the sound /uː/ (the long "oo" sound, like in "cool" or "food").

• /uː/ is the sound found in words like food, moon, and blue.

• "Pull" has the sound /ʊ/ (the short "oo" sound), as in words like foot, book, and good.

So, "pull" does not contain the /uː/ sound, making it the correct answer.
