Note that a range of answers may be possible, but the following reflect a standard U.S. Midwestern-Western accent. See the note after the p. 3 paragraph transcription exercise for more notes on LIKELY variants. If your answers vary widely from these, you should talk to Dr. Schmidt on the phone or Elluminate and let him check out your idiolect.
