Question

1. Tasha pronounces the h in the words hour, honest, and heir. Austin pronounces the h in the words holly, hold, and hand. Who is pronouncing the words correctly? A. Austin B. Tasha C. Both Tasha and Austin D. Neither Tasha nor Austin
2. Sara responds to Abraham as he is speaking by nodding her head and saying "yes" or "uh-huh" periodically. George responds to Jose as he is speaking by predicting what he is going to say. Who is the more effective listener? A. Both are effective listeners. B. Neither is an effective listener. C. George D. Sara

3. Select the word in which the h should be enunciated. A. Perhaps B. Honest C. When D. Why

Answer 1

1. A Austin. The h is pronounced in all of the words he  is saying whereas the h is silent in all of Tasha's words. 

2. It's a toss up, but I would say C George. This is because I'm assuming that even though Sara is nodding her head and saying yes every now and then, she is not engaging any further with the conversation with Abe.

However, if George is predicting what the Jose is going to say next, then he is actively listening to him as well as forming a reply. This means that he is more invested in the conversation because he is also listening as well. 

3. A Perhaps. Without pronouncing the h, it would sound more like "perps", which is cop slang for "perpetrator", which is not correct.

Answer 2

2. ITS NOT GEORGE I GOT THAT WRONG
