Explanation:

Question 1

The clue is about a fungus eaten like a vegetable. Among the options, "mushroom" is a fungus often used in cooking like a vegetable. The /oo/ sound in "mushroom" is in "room" part (but the relevant letters for /oo/ here would be in "mushroom"? Wait, no, the options are stoop, mushroom, juice. Wait, "mushroom" - the /oo/ sound? Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the options: stoop (oo), mushroom (oo in room? No, mushroom is /mʌʃrʊm/ or /mʌʃruːm/? Wait, maybe the intended word is mushroom as the fungus. So the word is mushroom, and the letters making /oo/ would be "oo" in "mushroom"? Wait, no, "mushroom" has "oo" in "room"? No, "mushroom" is spelled m-u-s-h-r-o-o-m? Wait, no, it's m-u-s-h-r-o-o-m? Wait, no, standard spelling is m-u-s-h-r-o-o-m? Wait, no, it's m-u-s-h-r-o-o-m? Wait, no, actually, "mushroom" is spelled m-u-s-h-r-o-o-m? Wait, no, the correct spelling is m-u-s-h-r-o-o-m? Wait, no, it's m-u-s-h-r-o-o-m? Wait, maybe the clue is about mushroom, so the word is mushroom, and the letters with /oo/ are "oo" in "mushroom".

A group of people working on a boat or plane is a "crew". The /oo/ sound in "crew" is from "ew" (but the clue is about /oo/ sound, wait "crew" is /kruː/, so the "ew" makes /oo/ sound? Wait, the options are crew, school, caboose. "Crew" is the group, so the word is crew, and the letters making /oo/ (or /uː/) are "ew" in "crew".

A black - and - blue mark on the skin is a "bruise". The /oo/ sound in "bruise" is from "ui" (but "bruise" is /bruːz/, so the "ui" makes /oo/ (or /uː/) sound. The options are goose, review, bruise. So the word is bruise, and the letters making /oo/ are "ui" in "bruise".

Answer:

Underline: mushroom; Circle: oo (in mushroom)
