Alternativa [C] T – F – F – F – T. Alternativa correta: C - T – F – F – F – T.

Vamos analisar cada uma das afirmações para entender melhor a escolha da alternativa correta:

( ) The words thanks, thought, and teeth are produced with the voiceless “th”, while the words they, those and then are produced with the voiced “th”.

Correta: 
Em inglês, os sons "th" podem ser voiceless (sem vibração das cordas vocais) ou voiced (com vibração das cordas vocais). As palavras thanks, thought e teeth são pronunciadas com o "th" voiceless, enquanto they, those e then são pronunciadas com o "th" voiced.

( ) The nasal /m/ doesn’t occur in final position in Portuguese at all. In English, it occurs in words such as aim, them and system. In both languages, lips don’t touch.

Incorreta: 
Em português, o som nasal /m/ pode ocorrer na posição final, como em "também". Além disso, os lábios tocam quando pronunciamos o som /m/ em ambas as línguas.

( ) The words cough and coffee are pronounced the same way. Both have one syllable.

Incorreta:
As palavras cough e coffee são pronunciadas de maneira diferente. Cough é pronunciada com um som de /kɔːf/ e tem uma sílaba, enquanto coffee é pronunciada como /ˈkɔːfi/ e tem duas sílabas.

( ) The words two and chew are pronounced the same way.

Incorreta: 
As palavras two (/tuː/) e chew (/tʃuː/) não são pronunciadas da mesma maneira. A principal diferença está no som inicial: /t/ para two e /tʃ/ para chew.

( ) Umbrella and uniform start with the same letter, but we say an umbrella and a uniform. Umbrella starts with a vowel sound but uniform starts with a semivowel sound.

Correta: 
De fato, usamos "an" antes de umbrella porque começa com um som de vogal e "a" antes de uniform porque começa com um som de semivogal /j/ (similar ao som "you").
