Question

a. Giggle
b. gasp
c. get
d. george

Answer 1

I think the answer is get

Answer 2

Answer:

Option a. Giggle

The odd sound of /g/ as in sing would be "giggle".

Explanation:

• The English language can be an ambiguous language to learn.

• In English, there exist two different sounds for the consonants "c" and "g" as per the phonics rules.

• The letter "g" comes close to following a phonics rule similar to the one for the letter "c." For example, the letter 'g' is pronounced differently in the word 'golf' and 'giant' etc.

• Unfortunately, you can’t be certain that it will be pronounced /j/. In some such cases "g" still makes the /g/ sound.

• The consonant "G" can make two sounds i.e. /g/ or /j/.

• The "hard sound of g" is more common than the "soft sound of g".

• The hard 'g' sound makes the /g/ sound as in gum, gasp, get, giggle, gift etc.

• While the soft 'g' sound makes the /j/ sound as in giant, George etc.

Hence as per the rules of phonics, the correct and most appropriate answer is option d. George.
