Concept:The word that has the
same vowel sound as the underlined sound in
edit must contain the same /e/ sound.
Explanation:edit is pronounced /ˈed.ɪt/.

Now check each option:
A.
many = /ˈmen.i/, which contains the same /e/ sound.
B.
earthy = /ˈɜː.θi/, which does not have /e/.
C.
forte = /ˈfɔː.teɪ/ or /fɔːt/, which does not have /e/.
