To solve the problem, we need to identify whether each word is a
closed syllable or an
open syllable. Here's a brief explanation of these terms:
-
Closed Syllable: A syllable that ends with a consonant. The vowel sound is usually short.
-
Open Syllable: A syllable that ends with a vowel. The vowel sound is usually long.
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### Closed Syllables:
1.
pet: Ends with a consonant (`t`), so it is closed.
2.
crab: Ends with a consonant (`b`), so it is closed.
3.
cry: Ends with a consonant (`y`), which acts as a consonant here, so it is closed.
4.
she: Ends with a vowel (`e`), so it is open (not closed).
5.
trunk: Ends with a consonant (`k`), so it is closed.
6.
glass: Ends with a consonant (`s`), so it is closed.
7.
shell: Ends with a consonant (`l`), so it is closed.
8.
last: Ends with a consonant (`t`), so it is closed.
9.
spy: Ends with a consonant (`y`), which acts as a consonant here, so it is closed.
10.
dog: Ends with a consonant (`g`), so it is closed.
11.
prop: Ends with a consonant (`p`), so it is closed.
12.
scan: Ends with a consonant (`n`), so it is closed.
13.
be: Ends with a vowel (`e`), so it is open (not closed).
14.
go: Ends with a vowel (`o`), so it is open (not closed).
15.
fly: Ends with a consonant (`y`), which acts as a consonant here, so it is closed.
16.
split: Ends with a consonant (`t`), so it is closed.
17.
we: Ends with a vowel (`e`), so it is open (not closed).
#### Open Syllables:
1.
she: Ends with a vowel (`e`), so it is open.
2.
be: Ends with a vowel (`e`), so it is open.
3.
go: Ends with a vowel (`o`), so it is open.
4.
we: Ends with a vowel (`e`), so it is open.
Final Answer:
