house — which option has the same consonant sound?
- A. houseCorrect
- B. honour
- C. honest
- D. hauteur
Explanation
The 'h' in 'house' is pronounced /h/; 'honour' and 'honest' both have a silent 'h', while 'hauteur' also has a silent (or very weak) 'h' in French-derived pronunciation, so 'house' pairs only with itself among typical minimal-pair style answers — note the key marks A, matching the word itself as the reference sound.
