Concept:Identify the vowel sound produced by the underlined letters "oa" in "roared" and compare it with the vowel sounds in the options.
Explanation:The word "roared" is formed from the base word "roar."
In "roared," the underlined letters "oa" are pronounced as /ɔː/, so the full word sounds like /rɔːd/.
We must now search for an option that contains the same vowel sound /ɔː/.
Let us check each option carefully.
"towered" is pronounced /taʊəd/, containing the diphthong /aʊə/, so it does not match.
"coast" is pronounced /kəʊst/, containing the diphthong /əʊ/, so it does not match.
"brought" is pronounced /brɔːt/, and it contains exactly the same vowel sound /ɔː/.
"rod" is pronounced /rɒd/, having the short vowel /ɒ/, so it does not match.
Since "brought" is the only word with the same vowel sound as "roared," it is the correct choice.
Answer:C. brought
