Concept:The phonetic symbol /iː/ represents the long “ee” vowel sound, like the sound in the word “see.”
Explanation:Say each option aloud and compare its vowel sound with the target sound /iː/.
Option A, “fit,” is pronounced /fɪt/. It contains the short vowel /ɪ/, not the long /iː/ sound.
Option B, “seal,” is pronounced /siːl/. It clearly has the long /iː/ sound in the middle.
Option C, “sailing,” is pronounced /ˈseɪlɪŋ/. It contains the diphthong /eɪ/ and the short vowel /ɪ/, not long /iː/.
Option D, “career,” is pronounced /kəˈrɪər/. Its vowel sound is /ɪə/, which is different from /iː/.
Among all the options, only “seal” has the exact long vowel sound represented by /iː/.
Answer:B. seal
