Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Part 1: Medial Sound "i"
The first part of the task asks us to identify words with the medial sound
"i" from the given list:
- sat, put, sit, not, lot, lit, hit, set, tin, tip
We need to focus on the middle vowel sound in each word:
-
sat: /æ/ (no "i")
-
put: /ʊ/ (no "i")
-
sit: /ɪ/ (contains "i")
-
not: /ɒ/ (no "i")
-
lot: /ɒ/ (no "i")
-
lit: /ɪ/ (contains "i")
-
hit: /ɪ/ (contains "i")
-
set: /ɛ/ (no "i")
-
tin: /ɪ/ (contains "i")
-
tip: /ɪ/ (contains "i")
Words with the medial sound "i":
- sit, lit, hit, tin, tip
####
Part 2: Completing the Sentence
The task asks us to find the word that does
not contain the medial sound "i" and use it to complete the sentence:
- mat, win, pat, fat, cat
Checking each word:
-
mat: /æ/ (no "i")
-
win: /ɪ/ (contains "i")
-
pat: /æ/ (no "i")
-
fat: /æ/ (no "i")
-
cat: /æ/ (no "i")
The word
"win" contains the medial sound "i". The other words do not. Therefore, we use one of the words without "i" to complete the sentence:
- "I want to _______ the race."
Using
"win" (since it fits grammatically):
-
I want to win the race.

Part 3: Medial Sound "o"
The second part of the task asks us to identify words with the medial sound
"o" from the given list:
- get, got, hit, lot, pat, pin, mug, pot, not, dog
We need to focus on the middle vowel sound in each word:
-
get: /ɛ/ (no "o")
-
got: /ɒ/ (contains "o")
-
hit: /ɪ/ (no "o")
-
lot: /ɒ/ (contains "o")
-
pat: /æ/ (no "o")
-
pin: /ɪ/ (no "o")
-
mug: /ʌ/ (no "o")
-
pot: /ɒ/ (contains "o")
-
not: /ɒ/ (contains "o")
-
dog: /ɒ/ (contains "o")
Words with the medial sound "o":
- got, lot, pot, not, dog
####
Part 4: Completing the Sentence
The task asks us to find the word that does
not contain the medial sound "o" and use it to complete the sentence:
- tug, hug, lot, mug, rug
Checking each word:
-
tug: /ʌ/ (no "o")
-
hug: /ʌ/ (no "o")
-
lot: /ɒ/ (contains "o")
-
mug: /ʌ/ (no "o")
-
rug: /ʌ/ (no "o")
The word
"lot" contains the medial sound "o". The other words do not. Therefore, we use one of the words without "o" to complete the sentence:
- "Jan has a _______ of pens."
Using
"lot" (since it fits grammatically):
-
Jan has a lot of pens.
