Concept:This question tests your ability to identify words that share the same vowel sound or phoneme.
The underlined letters "ie" in "tie" produce the diphthong sound /aɪ/.
Explanation:First, confirm the target sound: "tie" is pronounced as /taɪ/, where "ie" gives the /aɪ/ sound.
Next, check the vowel sound in each given option.
A. "hail" is pronounced /heɪl/, with the vowel sound /eɪ/, not /aɪ/.
B. "hey" is pronounced /heɪ/, with the vowel sound /eɪ/, not /aɪ/.
C. "bile" is pronounced /baɪl/, with the vowel sound /aɪ/.
D. "farce" is pronounced /fɑːs/, with the vowel sound /ɑː/, not /aɪ/.
So only option C contains the same vowel sound /aɪ/ as "tie."
Answer:C. bile
