Which option shows the correct Pinyin for what Wang Hua says?

The second syllable uses the wrong final.
shén mè
The second syllable here has a tone mark, which is not what Wang Hua says.
sén me
The first syllable uses the wrong initial.
shén me

Wang Hua is saying shén me.
The first syllable uses sh as the initial, which is pronounced by curling the tongue back slightly.
The second syllable has a neutral tone. As you learned in previous lessons, it should be pronounced lightly.
