Answer 2

[Hán Quang An]

• A. /ɪ/ as in "mid"
• B. /aɪ/ as in "light"
• C. /aɪ/ as in "bine"
• D. /ɪ/ as in "vi"sit

- Correct answer: B. delighted
Because the -ight- in B is pronounced /aɪ/, while A, C, and D have different sounds.

Wait! Let's double-check:

Actually, we made a mistake!

• A. midnight → /naɪt/
• B. delighted → /laɪ/
• C. turbine → /baɪn/
• D. visit → /ɪ/

So really:

• A, B, C → All have /aɪ/
• D → has /ɪ/

- Final correct answer: D. visit

- Conclude: 1. B

2. D
