    The letter "B" is a consonant.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The letter "B" is a consonant because it is a speech sound that is produced by completely or partially blocking the airflow coming from the vocal cords. In the case of the letter "B," it is produced by closing the lips and then releasing them to create a sound. Consonants are contrasted with vowels, which are produced without any obstruction of the airflow.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The letter "E" is not a consonant, it is a vowel. Consonants are speech sounds produced by obstructing or partially obstructing the airflow, while vowels are speech sounds produced without any obstruction. The letter "E" represents the vowel sound in words like "bed," "pen," and "red." Therefore, the statement that the letter "E" is a consonant is false.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because "Tour" and "Tore" are pronounced the same way, even though they have different spellings and meanings. Homophones are words that sound alike but have different meanings, and in this case, "Tour" and "Tore" fit that definition. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

Therefore, the correct answer is "End in the same sound."
