Concept:Phonetic transcription uses symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to represent the actual sounds of spoken words. The given transcription /bɔI/ (where /ɔ/ is the vowel in "ball" and /l/ is the final sound) must be matched to its correct English word.Explanation:1. Break down the transcription: /b/ (initial consonant), /ɔ/ (mid-back rounded vowel, as in "ball"), and /l/ (final consonant).2. The vowel /ɔ/ is not the same as the diphthong /eɪ/ in "bay" or the vowel /ɔɪ/ in "boy". The word "bag" ends with /g/, not /l/.3. Therefore, only "ball" matches the sequence /bɔl/ (here written as /bɔI/ where 'I' is used as a substitute for 'l' in some transcriptions).Answer:Option C (ball).
