To solve this, we need to sort the words into two groups:
Open Syllables and
Closed Syllables.
Here is how you can tell the difference:
*
Open Syllable: The word ends with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). The vowel usually says its name (long sound). Examples: *go, me*.
*
Closed Syllable: The word ends with a consonant. The vowel is "closed in" and usually makes a short sound. Examples: *cat, sit*.
Let's look at each word from the list:
1.
be: Ends with 'e' (vowel) → Open
2.
kit: Ends with 't' (consonant) → Closed
3.
me: Ends with 'e' (vowel) → Open
4.
cap: Ends with 'p' (consonant) → Closed
5.
see: Ends with 'e' (vowel) → Open
6.
test: Ends with 't' (consonant) → Closed
7.
no: Ends with 'o' (vowel) → Open
8.
met: Ends with 't' (consonant) → Closed
9.
go: Ends with 'o' (vowel) → Open
10.
grab: Ends with 'b' (consonant) → Closed
11.
so: Ends with 'o' (vowel) → Open
12.
get: Ends with 't' (consonant) → Closed
13.
he: Ends with 'e' (vowel) → Open
14.
mop: Ends with 'p' (consonant) → Closed
15.
we: Ends with 'e' (vowel) → Open
16.
sod: Ends with 'd' (consonant) → Closed
Now, we write them in the correct columns.
Final Answer:

Closed Syllable
