1. The letter "o" in "work" sounds different it does in the other words. It sounds short, whereas in "more", "divorce", and "chore" it sounds longer and more open.

2. The final "ed" in "loved" sounds just like a "d". However, in the other 3 words, it sounds like a "t".

3. The first letter "e" in "prepare" has a short schwa sound. But, in the other three words, the sound is  /ε /.

4. The "u" in "contribute" sounds like the word "you". In the other three words, it represents the phoneme /∧ /.

5. The final "ed" in "visited" has a schwa sound before the "d". In the other words, it does not.

6. The letter "i" represents the sound / ai / in "finance" while it represents a short / i / in the other words.

7. The letters "ea" in "breadwinner" represent an / ε / sound. In the other words, they represent a long / i / sound.

8. The letter "a" in "career" represents a schwa sound. In the other words, it represents an / æ / sound.

9. Here the explanation is the opposite of number 8. In "share", the letter "a" represents the / æ / sound.

10. In "grandparents", the letter "a" represents the / æ / sound. In the other words, it represents the sound / ei /.
