💭 Think About

• Think about how the word for the letter Q is normally pronounced in the international phonetic alphabet, not how it is spelled in English or French. • Compare each choice and decide which one best represents a clear, simple two‑syllable pronunciation that would be easily understood over a noisy radio. • Ask yourself which option you have most often heard in aviation/maritime radio examples when someone spells a word containing the letter Q.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option matches the standard ITU phonetic word for the letter Q. • Check that the pronunciation shown can reasonably be said aloud as one smooth word, not broken or awkward. • Confirm that the choice you select is the one most commonly used in standard radio phraseology training materials.
