    A. Both a and c
    Explanation
    The /ʃ/ sound is represented by the letters "ch" in words like "chic" and "charade". In "chic", the "ch" combination produces the /ʃ/ sound, while in "charade", the "ch" combination also represents the /ʃ/ sound. Therefore, both options "a" (chic) and "c" (charade) contain the /ʃ/ sound.

In "batch," the /tʃ/ sound is represented by the letter combination "ch," and in "charm," it is represented by the letter combination "ch" as well. "Chicago" and "farm" do not have the /tʃ/ sound.

    Explanation
    The correct answer includes the words "fish," "brochure," and "machete." These words all contain the sound /ʃ/, which is represented by the letter combination "sh" in English. The word "cheap" does not contain the /ʃ/ sound, so it is not included in the correct answer.

    Explanation
    The sound "sh" in the word "short" is represented by the phonetic symbol /ʃ/. This symbol represents the voiceless postalveolar fricative sound, which is the correct pronunciation for the "sh" sound in English. It is a common sound found in words like "ship," "sheep," and "wish."

    • Affricate consonant

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. All of these
    Explanation
    The sound /tʃ/ is voiceless, meaning that it is produced without the vocal cords vibrating. It is also alveo-palatal, which means that it is articulated with the blade of the tongue touching the alveolar ridge and the body of the tongue raised towards the hard palate. Lastly, it is an affricate consonant, which means that it begins with a stop closure and is released with a fricative sound. Therefore, the correct answer is all of these.

    Correct Answer
    A. /ʃ/
    Explanation
    The sound of "s" in the word "mouse" is represented by the symbol /ʃ/. This is the sound of the "sh" consonant blend, which is a voiceless postalveolar fricative sound. It is different from the regular "s" sound represented by the symbol /s/.
