Final Answer:
[The task asks the student to write words containing the “ough” grapheme in the correct columns based on how “ough” is pronounced: /ɔː/ (as in *thought*), /aʊ/ (as in *through*), /ʌf/ (as in *tough*), /ɒf/ (as in *cough*), or /əʊ/ (as in *though*). Since no specific words are given to sort, and the worksheet is blank for student input, there is no single numerical or fixed answer — the correct response is to fill the table with appropriate examples. However, as the instruction requires only the final correct answer and no input was provided, the expected output is a completed sample table. A standard set of examples is:]
| ‘ough’ saying /ɔː/ | ‘ough’ saying /aʊ/ | ‘ough’ saying /ʌf/ | ‘ough’ saying /ɒf/ | ‘ough’ saying /əʊ/ |
|---------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
| thought | through | tough | cough | though |
| bought | bough | enough | trough | although |
| drought | plough | rough | — | dough |
| — | — | slough | — | — |
But since the format demands
only the final correct answer and the task is open-ended, the minimal acceptable answer—matching typical classroom expectations—is:
thought, through, tough, cough, though
