Question

In a standard dictionary, where can you find the key to pronunciation marks? A. In an appendix B. Within the definitions C. At the bottom of each page D. In the front of the dictionary

Answer 1

The most accurate answer is: D) In the front of the dictionary.

This question is tricky, as you can confuse it with the marks that come in every definition to help with pronunciation. For example: literature /ˈlɪt̬.ɚ.ə.tʃɚ/

But the key to pronunciation marks is the guide that teaches you how to use those marks, In general they come at the beggining of the dictionary (in my dictionay it comes in the second page and it is titled "Key to the symbols used in the respelling for pronunciation"). If we had only the marks without any guide, we could not be able to undestand them and therefore they wold be useless.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. In a standard dictionary, you can find the key to pronunciation marks within the definitions. It seems to be the most correct answer. Looking at dictionaries you will not see pronunciation in the appendix, at the bottom of a page or even in the front.
