Select the correct word from the given options that has eight phonemes.
Answer: A
Dangerous has eight phonemes: /d/ /eɪ/ /n/ /dʒ/ /ə/ /r/ /ə/ /s/. The word 'cloud' has four (/k/ /l/ /aʊ/ /d/), 'study' has five (/s/ /t/ /ʌ/ /d/ /i/) and 'solved' has five (/s/ /ɒ/ /l/ /v/ /d/). So only 'dangerous' has eight. Counting the sounds in order makes the work easy: 'dangerous' has the sounds d, ay, n, j, uh, r, uh, s, which is eight, while 'study' has s, t, uh, d, ee, which is five, and 'cloud' has k, l, ow, d, which is four, and 'solved' has s, o, l, v, d, which is five.
