B
sachet

correct option: a
When you transcribe the word ‘gritty’ or pronounce it /grIti/ , the ‘t’ in the word is heard or visible, so it is not a silent letter. The answer to this question is ‘A’ asked /a:skt/ or /aeskt/ because it is in a past form and some past forms changes in sound. The (‘-ed) where has the consonant sound ‘-t’ while other words have their ‘t’ in silent forms. ‘Sachet’ /sæjeil/, ‘depot’ /depæs/ or /di:pot/ and ‘wrestle’ /’resei/.
