Explanation:

Brief Explanations
Part 1: Same Sound (y)
  1. Kyle ( /kaɪl/ ) - "nylon" ( /ˈnaɪlɒn/ ) has the same "y" sound (long i) as "Kyle". "youth" ( /juːθ/ ) has a "y" sound of /j/, "Egypt" ( /ˈiːdʒɪpt/ ) has a silent "y" or /ɪ/ - like sound. So circle nylon.
  2. yard ( /jɑːd/ ) - "yield" ( /jiːld/ ) has the same initial "y" sound ( /j/ ). "type" ( /taɪp/ ) has a "y" with /aɪ/, "geometry" ( /dʒiˈɒmətri/ ) has a "g" sound for "ge". So circle yield.
  3. typical ( /ˈtɪpɪkl/ ) - "system" ( /ˈsɪstəm/ ) has the same short "i" sound (from "y" in "typical" as /ɪ/ ). "supply" ( /səˈplaɪ/ ) has /aɪ/, "yellow" ( /ˈjeləʊ/ ) has /j/. So circle system.
  4. yucca ( /ˈjʌkə/ ) - "yo - yo" ( /ˈjəʊjəʊ/ ) has the same initial "y" sound ( /j/ ). "firefly" ( /ˈfaɪəflaɪ/ ) has /aɪ/, "cheerfully" ( /ˈtʃɪəfəli/ ) has no "y" sound like that. So circle yo - yo.
  5. nursery ( /ˈnɜːsəri/ ) - "suddenly" ( /ˈsʌdənli/ ) has the same "y" sound ( /i/ at the end). "yowling" ( /ˈjaʊlɪŋ/ ) has /j/, "skylark" ( /ˈskaɪlɑːk/ ) has /aɪ/. So circle suddenly.
Part 2: r - controlled vowels (vowels affected by "r", like ar, er, ir, or, ur)
  1. "worth" ( /wɜːθ/ - "ur" is r - controlled), "words" ( /wɜːdz/ - "or" (but in "words" it's /ɜː/ as r - controlled? Wait, "words" has "or" but with r - control? Wait, r - controlled vowels are when a vowel is followed by "r" and the sound is changed. So "worth" (ur - /ɜː/), "thousand" has no r - controlled vowel, "words" (or - but with r? Wait, "words" is "word" + "s", "word" is /wɜːd/ (ur - r - controlled? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's list words with r - controlled vowels:
  • 1. "worth" (ur: /ɜː/), "words" (or? No, "word" is /wɜːd/ (ur - r - controlled). Wait, maybe better to identify:
  • 1. "worth" (r - controlled vowel: ur /ɜː/), "words" (or? No, "word" has ur? Wait, maybe the correct words: "worth" (ur), "words" (or? No, let's check each proverb:
  • 1. "picture" (no), "worth" (yes, ur), "thousand" (no), "words" (yes, or? Wait, "word" is /wɜːd/ (ur - r - controlled). So circle worth, words.
  • 2. "good" (no), "turn" (ur: /ɜː/), "deserves" (er: /ɜː/), "another" (er: /ə/ - no, "another" is /əˈnʌðə(r)/ - the "er" at the end is /ə/, but "turn" (ur - /ɜː/), "deserves" (er - /ɜː/). So circle turn, deserves, another (wait, "another" has "er" but is it r - controlled? Maybe "turn" (ur), "deserves" (er), "another" (er? No, "another" is /əˈnʌðə(r)/, the "er" is /ə/ - maybe not. Wait, r - controlled vowels are vowels where the "r" changes the vowel sound, like in "car" (ar - /ɑː/), "her" (er - /ɜː/), "bird" (ir - /ɜː/), "fork" (or - /ɔː/), "fur" (ur - /ɜː/). So:
  • 2. "turn" (ur: /ɜː/), "deserves" (er: /ɜː/), "another" (er: /ə/ - no, maybe "turn", "deserves".
  • 3. "give" (no), "take" (no), "fair" (air - not r - controlled), "play" (no). Wait, "fair" is "air" - not r - controlled. Maybe no r - controlled vowels? Wait, maybe I'm wrong. Let's check again.
  • 3. No r - controlled vowels?
  • 4. "Short" (or: /ɔː/ - r - controlled), "visits" (no), "make" (no), "long" (no), "friends" (no). So circle Short.
  • 5. "quitter" (er: /ə/ - no), "never" (er: /ə/ - no), "wins" (no), "winner" (er: /ə/ - no), "quits" (no). Wait, maybe "quitter" (er - but /ə/), not r - controlled.
  • 6. "Leave" (no), "no" (no), "stone" (no), "unturned" (ur: /ɜː/). So circle unturned.
  • 7. "Appearances" (er: /ə/ - no), "can" (no), "be" (no), "deceptive" (no). Wait, "appearances" has "ance" - no.
  • 8. "darkest" (ar: /ɑː/ - r - controlled), "hour" (our - not r - controlled), "just" (no), "before" (no)…

Answer:

Part 1 (Same Sound as Bold "y"):
  1. nylon
  2. yield
  3. system
  4. yo - yo
  5. suddenly
Part 2 (r - controlled vowels):
  1. worth, words
  2. turn, deserves
  3. Short
  4. unturned
  5. darkest
  6. acorns
  7. bird, worth
  8. doctor

(Note: For part 2, the identification of r - controlled vowels might vary slightly based on pronunciation rules, but the above are the likely candidates.)
