It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Dividing Syllables", which is a language arts exercise designed to help students practice dividing words into syllables. The instructions ask students to:
> *"Find the correct syllable division for each word. Write the letter of the answer on the line."*
Each question presents a word and three possible ways to divide it into syllables (A, B, C). Students must choose the correct division.

Since I can't view images directly, I’ll guide you through how to solve this type of worksheet
if you provide the content (e.g., list the questions and options), or I can explain
how to approach syllable division in general so you can solve it yourself.

🔤 How to Divide Syllables: Rules & Tips
Here are common rules for dividing words into syllables:
1.
One syllable per vowel sound
Each vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u) usually represents one syllable.
2.
Vowel-Consonant-Vowel (VCV) Rule
When a single consonant is between two vowels, the first vowel is usually long, and the word is divided
before the consonant:
- *ra-ting* (not rat-ing)
3.
Consonant Cluster Rule
If there are two consonants together, they often stay together:
- *hap-py*, *be-tween*
4.
Silent E Rule
A silent 'e' at the end usually makes the preceding vowel long and is not counted as a syllable:
- *hope* → *ho-pe* (not hop-e)
5.
Compound Words
Divide at the natural break:
- *sun-light*, *rain-drop*
6.
Prefixes and Suffixes
Often separate from the root word:
- *re-write*, *un-happy*
7.
Double Consonants
Usually split:
- *sit-ting*, *run-ner*
8.
Words with "ed" or "ing" endings
These often go with the previous syllable:
- *walk-ed*, *play-ing*

✔ Example:
Let’s say one question is:
1. cake
A. ca-ke
B. cak-e
C. ca-k
Correct answer:
A. ca-ke
Because "cake" has two syllables: "ca" and "ke", and the silent 'e' makes the 'a' long.
