Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : she, see, seat

Phoneme: It is the ‘smallest unit of sound' that distinguishes one word from another. Since sounds cannot be written, we use letters to represent or stand for the sounds.

Consonant sound: Consonants sounds produced with some restriction or closure in the vocal tract. There are 24 consonant sounds in most English accents. 

Vowel sound: In vowel sounds, the airflow is unobstructed when the sound is made. For example, the vowel sounds are the music or movement of our language. There are 20 vowel sounds in English.

IPA	Examples
u:	food, blue, two
ѕ	she, see, seat
ʃ	shape, push
ɱ	man, lemon

 

Pronouncing the words, she, see and seat, it becomes clear that these words have the same vowel sound.
