Is other a verb?
Like many English words, other possesses great flexibility in
meaning and function. Over the past few centuries, it has served
as an adjective, an adverb, a noun, and a pronoun. In recent
decades, other has increased its part-of-speech portfolio to
include verb use, having acquired the meaning "to treat or
consider (a person or a group of people) as alien to oneself or
one's group.” Some people find it disconcerting when a word
takes on a new part of speech, a process known as functional
shift. The phenomenon is quite common, however -- our
language contains many thousands of words which are reported
to have been formed in this fashion.

Speakers use a finite set of rules to produce and understand
an infinite set of possible sentences. These rules comprise the
grammar of a language, which is learned when you acquire the
language and includes the sound system, the structure of words,
how words may be combined into phrases and sentences, the
ways in which sounds and meanings are related, and the words
or lexicon. The sounds and meanings of these words are related
in an arbitrary fashion. And so are the gestures used by deaf
signers. Language, then, is a system that relates sounds (or hand
and body gestures) with meanings; when you know a language
you know this system.

Thirukural, verse 67, circa 100 A.D. in: KUMARAVADIVELU, B. 2003.
Regular verbs ending in voiced sounds are pronounced with the sound /d/ in the simple past and past perfect, and so are most adjectives with the same form. However, the word “Learned”, present in the quotation above, has a distinctive pronunciation feature when functioning as an adjective or a noun: /ˈlɜːnɪd/. Among the words below, choose the one that follows the same characteristic of pronunciation when used in such functions.

Because the culture of any community has many facets and
manifestations, it would be practically impossible to deal with all
of them in the classroom and prepare students for the many
situations that they might encounter in the course of their
functioning in ESL/EFL environments. However, many important
aspects of teaching the second culture can be brought forth and
addressed via classroom instruction, and some of these are
discussed here. The most important long-term benefits of
teaching culture may be to provide learners with the awareness
and the tools that will allow them to achieve their academic,
professional, social, and personal goals and become successful in
their daily functioning in L2 environments.
