Answer:
The word "church" has three phonemes.
Explanation:
We can define phoneme as being the smallest unit of speech that allows us to distinguish a word from another. For example, the word "pad" is different from "bad" because of a phoneme that changes from one to the other. Phonemes may be represented by a single letter or by a group of letters. In the case of the word "church", there are 6 letters representing a total of only three phonemes: ch -ur - ch.
