Answer

To help us answer this question, say each of the answer choices aloud to yourself.

Act

Bat

Map

Cake

Now, let's look at the vowels in each of the words.

Act

Bat

Map

Cake

All of the vowels are the letter a, but do they all sound the same? No, they do not.

Act, bat, and map all have a short vowel sound.

Cake has a long vowel sound. Since only one of the words has a long vowel sound, that is the word that does not belong with the others.
