Question

lesson 1.17 r-controlled vowels (ar, er, ir, or, ur)
when the letter r follows a vowel, it can change the vowels sound.

  • the letters ar make the sound you hear in guitar
  • the letters or make the sound you hear in torch
  • the letters er, ir, and ur can all make the same sound, as in observe, skirt, and return

read each set of words below. circle the word that has the same r - controlled vowel sound as the bold word.

  1. father person smart horde
  2. darkness careless particular scorch
  3. florist market generous border
  4. nocturnal birth recording harmful
  5. platform curtain square sworn
  6. regarding portion version farther
  7. whirl sports harpoon squirrel
  8. discard weather exporting alarm
  9. seashore support argument undershirt

read each clue below. unscramble the letters beside it to find the word that matches the clue. each word will contain an r - controlled vowel.

  1. to keep or protect from harm sepreerv
  2. a person who protects swimmers eguldifar
  3. to pay no attention to something egnior
  4. annoy rbditus
  5. a grassy area behind a house ckybraad
  6. the nut of an oak tree oancr

Brief Explanations

This problem is about R - controlled vowels in English language learning, which falls under the subfield of Linguistics (a subfield of Arts). For the first part (circling the word with the same R - controlled vowel sound):

  1. For "father", the R - controlled vowel is "ar" (as in "father"). "smart" also has "ar" sound.
  2. For "darkness", the "ar" sound. "particular" has "ar"? No, "scorch" has "or"? Wait, no, "darkness" has "ar" (dark - ar - ness). "particular" has "ar" (par - tic - u - lar). Wait, maybe better to check the vowel - r combinations. The first part's bold words:
  • 1. father (ar sound) - smart (ar)
  • 2. darkness (ar) - particular (ar)? Wait, no, "scorch" has "or". Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - check. The lesson says "ar" makes the sound in "guitar", "or" in "torch", "er, ir, ur" same sound. So "father" has "ar" (fath - er? No, "father" is f - a - th - er? Wait, no, "father" is /ˈfɑːðə(r)/ (British) or /ˈfɑːðər/ (American), the "ar" sound? Wait, maybe the bold word "father" has "er"? No, the lesson says "ar" is in "guitar", "or" in "torch", "er, ir, ur" same. So maybe "father" has "er"? No, the first bullet: "The letters ar make the sound you hear in guitar". "father" - maybe the "a" is followed by "r" later? Wait, maybe the first part's first question: "father" (let's look at the words: person (er), smart (ar), horde (or). So "father" - what's the R - controlled vowel? Maybe "ar" in "father"? No, "father" is f - a - th - er. Wait, maybe the bold word "father" has "er"? No, the lesson's first bullet: "ar" in guitar, "or" in torch, "er, ir, ur" same. So "father" - maybe the "er" at the end? But "person" has "er" (per - son), "smart" has "ar" (sm - ar - t), "horde" has "or" (h - or - de). So if "father" has "er" (fath - er), then "person" (per - son) has "er". Wait, maybe I misread the bold word. Let's check the image again. The first bold word is "father". So "father" - the R - controlled vowel: "father" is /ˈfɑːðə(r)/, the "a" is not followed by "r" immediately, but "er" at the end? No, the lesson is about vowel followed by "r". So maybe "father" has "ar" (f - a - th - er? No, "a" is not followed by "r". Wait, maybe the words are structured as vowel - r. So "father" - no, maybe "smart" has "ar" (sm - ar - t), and "father" - maybe the "er" is not R - controlled? Wait, the lesson says "when the letter r follows a vowel, it can change the vowel's sound". So in "father", the "r" is at the end, after "e". So "er" - so "person" has "er" (per - son), so "father" and "person" have "er"? But the options are person, smart, horde. So maybe "father" has "er", so "person" is the answer? But the user's question is to solve this, but maybe the user just wants the approach.

For the second part (unscrambling):

  1. "sepreerv" - let's unscramble. To keep or protect from harm is "preserve". Let's check the letters: s - e - p - r - e - e - r - v? Wait, "sepreerv" - rearrange: p - r - e - s - e - r - v - e? No, "preserve" is p - r - e - s - e - r - v - e. Wait, "sepreerv" has letters s, e, p, r, e, e, r, v. So p - r - e - s - e - r - v - e (preserve).
  2. "eguldifar" - a person who protects swimmers is "lifeguard". Let's check letters: e, g, u, l, d, i, f, a, r. Rearranged: l - i - f - e - g - u - a - r - d (lifeguard).
  3. "egnior" - to pay no attention to something is "ignore". Letters e, g, n, i, o, r. Rearranged: i - g - n - o - r - e (ignore).
  4. "rbditus" - annoy is "irritate"? No, "rbditus" - letters r, b, d, i, t, u, s. Wait, "irritate" has i, r, r, i, t, a, t, e. No, maybe "disturb"? No, "rbditus" - maybe "irritus"? No, "…

Answer:

Part 1 (Circling the word):
  1. father - smart
  2. darkness - particular (or maybe scorch? Need to re - check the vowel - r. Maybe the first part's answers:
  • 1. smart
  • 2. particular
  • 3. border
  • 4. recording
  • 5. farther
  • 6. version
  • 7. squirrel
  • 8. alarm
  • 9. argument
Part 2 (Unscrambling):
  1. preserve
  2. lifeguard
  3. ignore
  4. disturb (or maybe irritate, but based on letters, disturb: r, b, d, i, t, u, s → disturb)
  5. backyard
  6. acorn
