Step-by-step solution for: Syllable Worksheets
I'll solve this syllable division worksheet for you. Let's go through each question step by step, identifying which word has been divided into syllables correctly.
First, look closely:
The worksheet asks to find the word that has been divided into syllables correctly and write its letter on the line. For each numbered item, there are three options (A, B, C) with different syllable divisions.
Let me analyze each question one by one:
1. Question 1:
- A: "ad/der" - This is incorrect. The correct division should be "add/er".
- B: "adde/r" - This is incorrect. The 'e' should not be separated from the preceding 'd'.
- C: "adder" - This is not divided at all, so it doesn't meet the requirement of being "divided into syllables".
Wait, let me reconsider. Looking more carefully, I need to identify which option shows the correct syllable division. For "adder", the correct division is "ad-der". So option A "ad/der" is actually correct.
2. Question 2:
- A: "a/p ple" - Incorrect. Should be "ap/ple".
- B: "ap/ple" - Correct! This follows the rule for dividing consonants between vowels.
- C: "appl/e" - Incorrect. The 'e' at the end shouldn't be separated like this.
3. Question 3:
- A: "be/au/ti/ful" - This has too many divisions. "beautiful" has three syllables: beau-ti-ful.
- B: "beau/ti/ful" - Correct! This properly divides the three syllables.
- C: "beau/tiful" - Incorrect. "tiful" is not a proper syllable division; it should be "ti-ful".
4. Question 4:
- A: "capi/tal" - Correct! "capital" has two syllables: cap-i-tal, but typically divided as "cap/i/tal" or "ca/pi/tal". Wait, let me think again. "Capital" is usually divided as "cap/i/tal" or "ca/pi/tal". Option A "capi/tal" might be acceptable, but let's check the others.
- B: "ca/pital" - This looks correct too. "ca-pi-tal" would be the standard division.
- C: "cap/ital" - This is also correct. "cap-i-tal" is a valid division.
Actually, let me reconsider. All three might be argued, but "cap/ital" (C) is a common and correct division.
5. Question 5:
- A: "foll/ow" - Incorrect. Should be "fol/low".
- B: "fol/low" - Correct! This properly divides the two syllables.
- C: "follo/w" - Incorrect. The 'w' shouldn't be separated from the preceding 'o'.
6. Question 6:
- A: "dis/re/gard" - This has three divisions, but "disregard" has three syllables: dis-re-gard.
- B: "disre/gard" - Incorrect. "disre" is not a proper syllable.
- C: "dis/re/gard" - Correct! This properly divides the three syllables.
7. Question 7:
- A: "elec/tric" - Correct! "electric" has three syllables: e-lec-tric, but commonly divided as "e/lec/tric" or "elec/tric". Option A "elec/tric" is acceptable.
- B: "elec/tri/c" - Incorrect. "tri/c" is not a proper division.
- C: "elect/ric" - This is also correct. "elect/ric" is a common division.
Actually, both A and C could be argued, but "elect/ric" (C) is perhaps more standard.
8. Question 8:
- A: "ex/am/ple" - Correct! This properly divides the three syllables.
- B: "exam/ple" - Incorrect. "exam" is not a syllable in this context; it should be "ex-am-ple".
- C: "examp/le" - Incorrect. "examp" is not a proper syllable.
9. Question 9:
- A: "bi/cy/cle" - This has three divisions, but "bicycle" has three syllables: bi-cy-cle.
- B: "bi/cy/cle" - Correct! This properly divides the three syllables.
- C: "bicy/cle" - Incorrect. "bicy" is not a proper syllable.
10. Question 10:
- A: "bri/ck/la/d" - This has three divisions, but "bricklayer" has three syllables: brick-la-yer.
- B: "brick/la/yer" - Correct! This properly divides the three syllables.
- C: "bricklay/er" - Incorrect. "bricklay" is not a proper syllable.
11. Question 11:
- A: "con/so/le" - Correct! This properly divides the three syllables.
- B: "con/sole" - This is also correct. "con-sole" is a valid division.
- C: "cons/ole" - Incorrect. "cons" is not a proper syllable in this context.
Actually, both A and B could be argued, but "con/sole" (B) is perhaps more standard.
12. Question 12:
- A: "en/ve/lope" - Correct! This properly divides the three syllables.
- B: "enve/lope" - Incorrect. "enve" is not a proper syllable.
- C: "envel/ope" - Incorrect. "envel" is not a proper syllable.
13. Question 13:
- A: "an/im/al" - Correct! This properly divides the three syllables.
- B: "ani/mal" - This is also correct. "ani-mal" is a valid division.
- C: "anim/al" - Incorrect. "anim" is not a proper syllable.
Actually, both A and B could be argued, but "ani/mal" (B) is perhaps more standard.
14. Question 14:
- A: "re/mind" - Correct! This properly divides the two syllables.
- B: "rem/ind" - Incorrect. "rem" is not a proper syllable in this context.
- C: "reme/ind" - Incorrect. "reme" is not a proper syllable.
Based on my analysis, here are the correct answers:
1. A (ad/der)
2. B (ap/ple)
3. B (beau/ti/ful)
4. C (cap/ital)
5. B (fol/low)
6. C (dis/re/gard)
7. C (elect/ric)
8. A (ex/am/ple)
9. B (bi/cy/cle)
10. B (brick/la/yer)
11. B (con/sole)
12. A (en/ve/lope)
13. B (ani/mal)
14. A (re/mind)
This completes the worksheet. Each answer is based on standard English syllable division rules, where we typically divide between consonants when they come between vowels, and try to keep vowel sounds together with their preceding consonants when possible.
