C) S
D) Q

Answer 1

The letter G followed by e, i, or y often represents /j/ as in gentle, gist, gem, gyro and gym.

Step-by-step explanation:

The letter G followed by e, i, or y often represents /j/, its soft sound, as in gentle, gist, gem, gyro and gym.

When the letter G has e, i, or y right after it, it spells the sound [j]. This is called soft G. In other cases, G represents the hard sound [g].

So, the correct answer is B) G
