Explanation:

• For "learn": The "ear" combination in "learn" makes an /ɜː/ sound, which is an r - controlled vowel sound.
• For "crumb": The "u" in "crumb" is a short vowel sound. In "crumb", the "u" is pronounced as /ʌ/.
• For "shark": The "ar" in "shark" makes an /ɑː/ sound, which is an r - controlled vowel sound.
• For "boar": The "oar" combination in "boar" makes an /ɔː/ sound, which is an r - controlled vowel sound.
• For "road": The "oa" in "road" makes a long vowel sound /əʊ/.
• For "brick": The "i" in "brick" is a short vowel sound /ɪ/.
• For "drive": The "i" in "drive" is a long vowel sound /aɪ/.
• For matching words with r - controlled vowel sounds:
• "sharp" has the /ɑː/ sound (r - controlled), and "carton" (the "ar" in "carton" - if we consider the relevant vowel - r combination for the vowel sound here) can be matched with it.
• "circle" has the /ɜː/ sound (r - controlled), and "germ" has the /ɜː/ sound (r - controlled).
• "orbit" has the /ɔː/ sound (r - controlled), and "short" has the /ɔː/ sound (r - controlled).
• For circling words where r changes the vowel sound (r - controlled vowels):
• "birthday": The "ir" makes an /ɜː/ sound (r - controlled).
• "first": The "ir" makes an /ɜː/ sound (r - controlled).
• "porch": The "or" makes an /ɔː/ sound (r - controlled).
