Concept:The consonant sound represented by the underlined letters "xt" in "text" is the cluster /kst/.
Explanation:The word "text" is pronounced /tɛkst/.
The underlined letters "xt" together produce the final consonant sound /kst/.
Now compare the consonant clusters in all the options.
"kissed" ends with the sound /st/, not /kst/.
"west" also ends with the sound /st/.
"fixed" is pronounced /fɪkst/ and ends with the same cluster /kst/.
"risked" contains the cluster /skt/, which is different from /kst/.
Hence only "fixed" has exactly the same consonant sound as "text".
Answer:C. fixed
