The English language is full of words whose written form can be deceptive. Different from Portuguese, in English
we rarely sound out all the letters that we see. Due to the history of the language, there are a lot of silent letters
in English. Analyze the following statements and identify the correct ones:
I- The b is silent in doubt, comb and bomb. In the word tomb, the b is pronounced.
II- The p is silent in the following words: psychology, raspberry, receipt, cupboard.
III- The l is silent in talk, walk, chalk, would, half.
IV- The h is silent in heir, hour, honor, honest, helicopter.
V- The t is silent in listen, Christmas, castle, whistle.
