explain the difference in pronunciation with reference to the sounds [ p, t, k ] in the following examples, show how the difference accrues examples stop and spot, tin and stone, skirt and kick

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: In International Phonetic Alphabet, [p, t, k] retain their own pronunciation. They are "Voiceless" when you make its sound but has puff of air called aspiration. 

The pronunciation of P is like that of B but it is voiceless. Make a sudden exhale and pronounce the 'p' sound with an explosive breath.
Try to pronounce 'stop' and 'spot'
- spot contains an aspirated version of /p/, with a puff of air after the stop is released; [p^h]
- stop contains a plain /p/, without a puff of air after the stop; this is written just [p] 

The pronunciation of T is voiceless. Make a sudden exhale and pronounce the 't' sound with an explosive breath.
Try tin and stone
- stone contains an aspirated version of /t/, with a puff of air after the stop is released; [t^h]
- tin contains a plain /t/, without a puff of air after the stop; this is written just [t] 

The pronunciation of S is voiceless. Make a sudden exhale and pronounce the 's' sound with an explosive breath.
Try skirt  and kick
- skirt contains an aspirated version of /k/, with a puff of air after the stop is released; [k^h]
- kick contains a plain /k/, without a puff of air after the stop; this is written just [k]

Which of the following sentences contains a verb in the future tense

Answers

I don't know which of the following sentences you have to choose from, but a future tense sentence looks something like this:

"We are going to go to Hawaii this summer!" She exclaimed.

The girl in this example is telling her friends what is going to happen, therefore it's set in the future tense. Another example is:

The school group was going to go to the park to see the ballgame. 

The future tense is basically explaining or saying something that hasn't happened yet or is going to happen.
If you wanna know future tense it will most likely have will or will have(future perfect)

What happens in a black hole

Answers

Well, nothing can really happen in a black hole since nothing in the universe is faster than the speed of light. Anything that falls into a black hole can never escape. The border at which gravity becomes strong enough to create that phenomenon is called the "event horizon"; it marks the outer boundary of the black hole.
