Vocabulary
Supposed to ([sə|poʊzd] or [sə|poʊt])
A: What are you looking for?
B: The public library. It is supposed to be right around the corner here.
1. The pronunciation of the -ed ending in B is /d/ as a result of the progressive assimilation.
I don't know why the explanation of #1 says the -ed ending of supposed is /d/.
I thought it should be /t/ or deleted because of the following t in to.

I think #1 is wrong. In my pronunciation, 'suppose to' liaises to form [s?|po?t?].
