50+ Consonant Digraphs worksheets for 8th Class on Quizizz | Free ... - Free Printable

Let’s go through each question one by one and pick the right answer.

---

1. The letters A, E, I, O, and U are...

These are the main vowel letters in English.
→ Correct answer: B. vowels

---

2. Any letter that is not a vowel is called a...

If it’s not a vowel, it’s a consonant. That’s the basic rule.
→ Correct answer: B. consonant

---

3. Two letters that make one sound is called a...

Like “sh” or “ch” — two letters, one sound. That’s a digraph.
→ Correct answer: B. digraph

---

4. Which is an example of a closed syllable exception?

Closed syllable exceptions are words like “all”, “old”, “ind”, “ild”, “ost” — where the vowel doesn’t say its short sound even though it looks like it should.
“all” is a classic example.
→ Correct answer: A. all

---

5. The vowel in a closed syllable exception makes what type of sound?

In exceptions like “all” or “wild”, the vowel usually says its long sound (or a special sound), not the short one.
→ Correct answer: A. long vowel

*(Note: Some might argue it’s a “special” sound, but in most school curricula, they teach that these exceptions have long vowel sounds.)*

---

6. Word that contains ONE short vowel and ends in at least one consonant

That’s the definition of a closed syllable. Example: “cat”, “sit”, “hop”.
→ Correct answer: A. closed syllable

---

7. Two or three consonants together whose sounds blend together is called a...

Like “bl”, “str”, “fl” — you can hear both sounds blending. That’s a blend (sometimes called a consonant blend). But looking at the options, “welded sound” isn’t quite right — welded sounds are like “-ang”, “-ink” where the sounds fuse more tightly. Actually, this question seems to be describing a *consonant blend*, but that’s not listed. Wait — let’s check the options again:

Options:
A. welded sound
B. vowel

Hmm… neither fits perfectly. But “welded sound” is sometimes used loosely for blends? Actually, no — welded sounds are specific groups like -ang, -ong, -ung, -ank, -ink, etc. Blends are different.

Wait — maybe there’s a mistake in the question or options? Let me think...

Actually, in some curricula, “welded sound” refers to units like “-ng”, “-nk”, “-tch”, which are fused. But “two or three consonants whose sounds blend” — that’s definitely a *blend*. Since “blend” isn’t an option, and “welded sound” is close but not accurate... Hmm.

But looking back at Question 3: “Two letters that make one sound” = digraph → so that’s clear.

For Q7, if we must choose from given options, and “vowel” is wrong, then perhaps they mean “welded sound” as a catch-all? But that’s incorrect.

Wait — let me double-check standard definitions:

- Blend: consonants that keep their individual sounds but are said quickly together (e.g., bl, st, tr)
- Digraph: two letters making one sound (e.g., sh, ch, th)
- Welded sound / glued sound: a group of letters that act as a unit and are hard to separate, often including a vowel + consonant(s) like -ang, -ing, -ock

So for Q7: “Two or three consonants together whose sounds blend together” — that’s a blend, but it’s not an option.

Looking at the image again — Option A is “welded sound”, B is “vowel”. Neither is correct. But since this is a quiz, and likely expects “welded sound” as the closest term (even though it’s not precise), or maybe there’s a typo?

Wait — actually, in some systems, “welded sound” includes things like “st”, “sp”, “sk”? No, those are blends.

I think there might be an error in the question or options. But since we have to pick, and “vowel” is clearly wrong, perhaps the intended answer is A. welded sound — even though technically it’s not accurate.

Alternatively, maybe the question meant “glued sound” or something else.

But let’s look at common core or Orton-Gillingham terms:

In OG, “welded sounds” are also called “glued sounds” and include: am, an, ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, unk — these are vowel + nasal consonant combinations.

Blends are separate.

So for Q7, if it says “two or three consonants” — that would be blends, not welded sounds.

Since “blend” isn’t an option, and this is probably a mistake, but in many elementary quizzes, they might use “welded sound” incorrectly for blends.

Wait — let me check the original image text again:

> 7. Two or three consonants together whose sounds blend together is called a...
> A welded sound
> B vowel

There’s no “blend” option. So perhaps the test maker meant “consonant blend” but wrote “welded sound” by mistake? Or maybe in their curriculum, they call blends “welded sounds”?

To avoid confusion, and since this is for a student, I’ll go with the most logical choice based on standard teaching:

Actually, upon second thought — in some contexts, “welded sound” is used for any fused consonant group, but that’s rare.

Perhaps the correct term they’re looking for is not listed, but since we must choose, and “vowel” is wrong, I’ll select A. welded sound as the best available option, noting that it’s not perfectly accurate.

But wait — let’s see if there’s another way. Maybe the question is misphrased, and they mean “digraph” for two letters making one sound — but that’s Q3.

No, Q7 specifically says “whose sounds blend together” — meaning you can still hear each sound, just blended. That’s a blend.

Given the options, I think there’s an error, but for the sake of completing the quiz, I’ll go with A. welded sound as the intended answer, assuming the curriculum uses that term broadly.

Alternatively, perhaps “welded sound” here is a distractor, and the real answer isn't listed — but since it's multiple choice, we pick the least wrong.

Actually, let me search my knowledge: In some programs, "welded sounds" refer to phonograms like -atch, -itch, -otch, -uck, etc., which are not pure consonant blends.

I think the safest bet is to recognize that this question may have a flaw, but since "vowel" is definitely wrong, and "welded sound" is the only other option, we'll go with A.

But to be honest, the correct term is "consonant blend", which isn't listed. However, for the purpose of this exercise, I'll select A.

Wait — looking back at the user's image, for question 7, the options are only A and B shown, but in the full quiz, there might be more? The image cuts off after B for Q7.

In the provided image, for Q7, only A and B are visible:

> 7. Two or three consonants together whose sounds blend together is called a...
> A welded sound
> B vowel

And then it stops. So perhaps in the actual quiz, there are C and D, but they're not shown in the image.

Since the user provided only up to B for Q7, and we have to work with what's given, and "vowel" is incorrect, the only possible choice is A.

So I'll go with A.
