Which word would look very similar to 'well' when lipreading?
- A.
  
  Bell
- B.

- C.
  
  Quell
- D.
  
  Sell
Correct Answer
C. Quell

Explanation
When lipreading, the word 'quell' would look very similar to 'well'. Both words have similar lip movements and shapes, as they both start with the 'kw' sound and end with the 'ell' sound. The only difference is the initial consonant sound, with 'quell' having a 'kw' sound and 'well' having a 'w' sound. However, since lipreading does not capture subtle differences in sounds, 'quell' would appear very similar to 'well' when lipreading.

Which word would look very similar to 'white' when lipreading?
- A.
  
  Fight
- B.

- C.

  Night
Correct Answer
B. Quite

Explanation
The word 'quite' would look very similar to 'white' when lipreading because both words have similar lip movements and sounds. The 'wh' and 'qu' sounds are produced with the same lip shape and movement, and the 'ite' and 'ite' sounds have similar lip movements as well. Therefore, when lipreading, it would be easy to mistake 'quite' for 'white' due to the similarity in lip movements and sounds.

Which word would look very similar to 'quit' when lipreading?
- A.
  
  Wit
- B.
  
  Bit
- C.
  
  Fit
- D.
  
  Lit
Correct Answer
A. Wit

Explanation
When lipreading, the word "quit" would look very similar to the word "wit". Both words have similar lip movements and the same number of letters. The only difference is the initial sound, where "quit" starts with a "kw" sound and "wit" starts with a "w" sound. However, since lipreading focuses more on the visual cues of lip movements rather than the exact sounds, "wit" would be the word that looks very similar to "quit" when lipreading.

Explanation
The word 'whale' would look very similar to 'quail' when lipreading because both words have similar lip movements and sounds.
