Concept:The underlined vowel sound in "pure" must be matched with the same vowel sound in one of the options.
Explanation:In British English, "pure" is pronounced
/pjʊə(r)/, so the underlined letters produce the diphthong /ʊə/.
Now compare this sound with each option.
"favour" is pronounced
/ˈfeɪvə/; its vowel sounds are /eɪ/ and /ə/, not /ʊə/.
"schwa" is pronounced
/shwa:/; its main vowel sound is /ɑː/, which is different.
"fur" is pronounced
/f3:(r)/; it contains the long vowel /ɜː/, not /ʊə/.
"furore" is pronounced
/fju’rO:ri/ in British English, and its first syllable has the same /jʊə/ or /ʊə/ sound as in "pure".
Therefore, the word that shares the same vowel sound with "pure" is "furore".
Answer:C. furore
