Questions: Select the correct pronunciation of the following letters in Spanish.

To select the correct pronunciation of letters in Spanish, it's important to understand the basic phonetic rules of the Spanish alphabet. Here are some guidelines for the pronunciation of certain letters:

1. A - Pronounced as "ah," similar to the 'a' in "father."
2. E - Pronounced as "eh," similar to the 'e' in "bet."
3. I - Pronounced as "ee," similar to the 'ee' in "see."
4. O - Pronounced as "oh," similar to the 'o' in "more."
5. U - Pronounced as "oo," similar to the 'oo' in "food."

Consonants can have different pronunciations depending on their position in a word or the letters surrounding them:

1. B and V - Both are pronounced as a soft "b" sound, similar to the English 'b' in "boy," but softer, especially between vowels.
2. C - Pronounced as "k" before 'a,' 'o,' 'u' (e.g., "casa"), and as "th" in Spain or "s" in Latin America before 'e' or 'i' (e.g., "cielo").
3. G - Pronounced as a hard "g" (as in "go") before 'a,' 'o,' 'u,' and as a soft "h" sound before 'e' or 'i' (e.g., "gente").
4. H - Always silent (e.g., "hola").
5. J - Pronounced as a strong "h" sound (e.g., "jugar").
6. LL - Pronounced as "y" in most regions, but can be "zh" or "j" in some areas (e.g., "llama").
7. Ñ - Pronounced as "ny," similar to the 'ni' in "onion" (e.g., "niño").
8. R - Rolled or trilled, especially at the beginning of a word or when doubled (e.g., "perro").
9. Z - Pronounced as "th" in Spain or "s" in Latin America (e.g., "zapato").

These are the general rules, but regional variations can occur. For example, the pronunciation of 'll' and 'y' can vary significantly between different Spanish-speaking countries.
