Direction: _______ begins with one vowel sound and change to another vowel sound in the same syllable.
1. Monophthong
2. Synonym
3. Diphthong
4. Glide

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Diphthong

The correct answer is "Diphthong".

• Let us explore the given options:
  • Monophthong: Monophthong is a vowel that has a single perceived auditory quality.
  • Synonym: Synonym is a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language.
  • Diphthong: Diphthong is a sound formed by the combination of two vowels in a single syllable, in which the sound begins as one vowel and moves towards another.
  • Glide: Glide is very similar to vowels. Glides immediately precede a vowel; they are less sonorous than the vowel they precede.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
   

• The two most common diphthongs are the letter combination “oy”/“oi”, as in “boy” or “coin”, and “ow”/ “ou”, as in “cloud” or “cow”.
