  1. A. own – the underlined part is "ow", pronounced /əʊ/ or /oʊ/ (like in “slow”).
  2. B. drop – the underlined part is "o", pronounced /ɒ/ (British English) or /ɑː/ (American English).
  3. C. crop – the underlined part is "o", pronounced /ɒ/ (BrE) or /ɑː/ (AmE).
  4. D. job – the underlined part is "o", pronounced /ɒ/ (BrE) or /ɑː/ (AmE).

✅ Correct answer: A. own

Reason: "own" has a different vowel sound (/əʊ/ or /oʊ/), while "drop," "crop," and "job" all share the same short "o" vowel sound (/ɒ/ or /ɑː/ depending on the accent).
