My apologies. The correct answer is a thesaurus. A thesaurus is a resource that provides synonyms (words with similar meanings) and can help writers find alternative words that are more interesting or specific.
To find out how to pronounce the word "phylum," Wesley can consult an online dictionary or a glossary in his textbook. Here's how he can use these resources:
1. Online dictionary: Wesley can search for the word "phylum" on a trusted online dictionary website. He should look for the phonetic pronunciation guide provided for the word. It may be indicated in different ways, such as in parentheses or using symbols.
2. Glossary in his textbook: Wesley can find the glossary section in his science textbook and refer to the entry for "phylum." The glossary should provide the pronunciation of the word, usually through an accompanying phonetic transcription.
Both of these resources will provide him with the correct pronunciation of the word "phylum."
