The question asks to identify which word contains the same consonant sound as the letter 'd'. Since no specific 'd' is underlined in the question, we will assume it refers to the typical sound of the letter 'd', which is the voiced alveolar plosive /d/. Let's analyze the consonant sounds in each option: a) Grand*: The letter 'd' at the end of "Grand" is pronounced as the voiced alveolar plosive /d/. b) Part*: This word contains the letter 't', which is pronounced as the unvoiced alveolar plosive /t/. It does not contain the /d/ sound. c) Headed*: The 'd' in "Head" is pronounced as /d/. The '-ed' ending in "Headed" is pronounced as /ɪd/ because the base word "head" ends in a /d/ sound, so it also contains the /d/ sound. d) Collided*: The 'd' in "Collided" (from "collide") is pronounced as /d/. The '-ed' ending is pronounced as /ɪd/ because "collide" ends in a /d/ sound, so it also contains the /d/ sound. Comparing the sounds, options a), c), and d) all contain the /d/ sound. Option b) "Part" contains the /t/ sound, which is distinct from /d/. Given that this is a multiple-choice question, the most logical interpretation is to find the word that does not contain the /d/ sound, or the word that has a different consonant sound from the others if they were all supposed to have a 'd' sound. In this case, "Part" is the only word that does not contain the /d/ sound. The correct option is b). b) Part**
