A
spelled
B
heard
C
understood
D
pronounced
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The sentence compares how a word is spelled in the US vs. how it is spelled in the UK.
Choice B is incorrect because the prompt discusses spelling, not auditory perception. Choice C is incorrect because it changes the meaning to comprehension. Choice D is incorrect because "pronounced" implies sound, not spelling.
