Praxis 5001 Practice Exams Practice Question

Which TWO of the following words best demonstrate the same use of the digraph that is used in the word “chair”?

Correct Answer: A, E

Rationale: The digraph in "chair" is "ch," which produces a distinct /ch/ sound. Options A (Lunch) and E (Challenge) both contain the "ch" digraph, demonstrating the same sound.

In contrast, B (Chef) contains "ch" but produces a /sh/ sound, which differs from the sound in "chair." Option C (Chorus) also has "ch," but it is pronounced as /k/, not matching the sound in "chair." Option D (Machine) features "ch" as well, but it produces the /sh/ sound, similar to "chef." Therefore, only options A and E align with the digraph usage in "chair."
