To determine which option has the same vowel sound as the word "boat," you need to understand the different vowel sounds in each of the options. Here's an explanation of each option and its vowel sound:
A. "Board": The vowel sound in the word "board" is /ɔː/, like the "aw" sound in "saw" or "law." This is not the same vowel sound as in "boat," so option A is not the correct answer.
B. "Bought": The vowel sound in the word "bought" is /ɒ/, as in "lot" or "rock." This is not the same vowel sound as in "boat," so option B is not the correct answer.
C. "Go": The vowel sound in the word "go" is /oʊ/, which sounds like "oh." This is not the same vowel sound as in "boat," so option C is not the correct answer.
D. "Glory": The vowel sound in the word "glory" is /oʊ/, similar to the sound in "go." This is not the same vowel sound as in "boat," so option D is not the correct answer.
Based on the explanations above, none of the options (A, B, C, or D) have the same vowel sound as the one represented by the underlined word "boat."
