Answer Key & Explanations
* 1: B (SKED-jool) – In American English, the "sch" starts with a hard /sk/ sound, unlike British English which often uses /ʃ/ ("shed").
* 2: B (pho-TOG-ra-pher) – While "photograph" puts stress on the 1st syllable, "photographer" shifts stress to the 2nd syllable.
* 3: B (guh-RAZH) – American English stresses the second syllable ending with a soft "zh" sound, whereas British English stresses the first syllable.
* 4: B (A fast flap /d/ sound) – This is called the "flap T," where /t/ sounds like a quick /d/ when between two vowel sounds.
* 5: C (Salmon) – The "l" in salmon is silent and pronounced "SAM-un".
