  • A Earth
  • B Clerk
  • C Lass
  • D Man
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
as usual, we will consider the pronunciations for all the given options above and choose the one with a differnt sound.Â
pass goes thus: [pɑːs]
clerk [klɑːk]
earth [əːθ]
lass [las]
man  [man]
The answer is B because the word ‘pass’ is transcribes /pa:s/ and is a longer form of /ae/. In the options above the word ‘earth’ /Ʒ:o/ or /Ʒ or o/, ‘lass’ /wes/ but the word ‘clerk’/kla:k/ has the same long vowel sound as pass /pa:s/
