Praxis 5362 Practice Question
Which of the following transcriptions best represents the way a native speaker of standard American English would pronounce the word ""thing""?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C, [t[tng], accurately captures the pronunciation of "thing" in standard American English. The initial "th" sound is represented by "t," which reflects a common phonetic realization in casual speech.
Option A, [0ml], does not represent any recognizable sounds in English, making it invalid.
Option B, [eing], omits the initial consonant and misrepresents the vowel sound, leading to an incorrect transcription.
Option D, [oeyg], introduces non-existent sounds and deviates significantly from the standard pronunciation, further confirming its inaccuracy.
