Answer:

Determination of pairs of words that best show how a single letter or pair of letters can have more than one sound is:

b. Archaeologist/Chile (the pairing of ch)

Explanation:

Archaeologist - the "ch" has a "k" pronunciation unlike the "ch" in Chile.  The "ch" in Chile has a pronunciation like the "sh + t "pronunciation.  This makes option A with the letter "d" the wrong answer, as the letter "d" as the same pronunciation in the words Discoveries/Deserts.  In the same way, option "c" with the letter "z" is a wrong answer, because the letter "z" has the same pronunciation in both Amazing/Zimbabwe.  So, we are left with the best answer as "b" with the pairing of "ch," which have different pronunciations in Archaeologist/Chile.

Why is reading so important
yuradex [85]
From time to time people have wondered why reading is important. There seems so many other things to do with one's time. Reading is important for a variety of reasons. We will look at some of those fundamental reasons below, but it is important to realize that struggling with vital reading skills is not a sign of low intelligence. For example, John Corcoran, who wrote The Teacher Who Couldn't Read<span>, is a very intelligent man. He graduated from High School and College, became a popular High School teacher and later a successful business man,  all without being able to read. Many highly intelligent people have struggled with reading; although, when properly taught, most people can learn to read easily and quickly.</span>

What is one example of an effective research question?
slega [8]
I think the answer is C because that’s more of an effective research question then any of them. C is a more helpful question that say parents would want the answer to and would look at that when figuring out what to by their children possibly. People would be able to see what certain video games does to their children and it’s more effective then any other question.
