English is often described as having a "deep
orthography," meaning there is not a one-to-one
correspondence between sounds and letters. This leads
to challenges in both reading and spelling. Mark T for
True and F for False:
(__)The "Silent E" rule often indicates that the preceding vowel should be pronounced as a long vowel, as seen in the word "plane" compared to "plan."
(__)The digraph "ch" always represents the phoneme /t?/ across all words of English origin, Greek origin, and French origin.
(__)Homophones are words that share the same spelling but have different pronunciations and meanings, such as "lead" (metal) and "lead" (to guide).
(__)The letter "c" usually represents the phoneme /s/ when followed by the vowels "e", "i", or "y", as in the word "cinema" or "center."
After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the correct sequence:
