Weekly Transcription Practice Exercise #5: KEY

Check your work on this exercise against the key below. In some cases, alternative transcriptions are possible due to dialect variation in America. In those cases, I list the 'General American' (the dialect considered standard) first. (Please note that the alternatives are not incorrect ways of pronouncing the word; just different ways it's pronounced in different regions of the country).
