Answer 1

The word 'Story' has the same vowel sound as the 'y' in anonymous, which is the short 'i' sound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the glossary entry for anonymous, we're looking to identify the word with the same vowel sound as the 'y' in anonymous, which is pronounced like the short 'i' as in 'sit'. Comparing the choices provided, the correct answer is:

• Mean (F) - This has a long 'e' sound, not a match.
• Pine (G) - This has a long 'i' sound, not a match.
• Story (H) - The 'o' in story is pronounced like the vowel sound in 'anonymous', making this the correct match.
