AThe pronunciation of jewelry as "jewelery."正確答案

BThe pronunciation of handbag as "hanbag."

CThe pronunciation of lamb as "lam."

DThe pronunciation of ask as "aks."

答案與詳解

正確答案

Epenthesis（增音）指在語音中插入額外音素，jewelry→jewelery 多了一個母音/ə/，正是典型例子。

AThe pronunciation of jewelry as "jewelery."Epenthesis 增音✓ 正確

jewelry /ˈdʒuː.əl.ri/ 被讀成 jewelery /ˈdʒuː.əl.ə.ri/，多插入一個 schwa /ə/，這就是 epenthesis（增音）的標準例子。

BThe pronunciation of handbag as "hanbag."Deletion 省音✕ 易錯陷阱

handbag → hanbag 是把 /d/ 音省略掉，屬於 deletion（省音）或 elision，不是增音。考生若不熟術語易混淆。

CThe pronunciation of lamb as "lam."✕ 錯誤

DThe pronunciation of ask as "aks."✕ 易錯陷阱
