Explanation:
We need to split each word into syllables and count how many syllables it has. Let’s go one word at a time:
1.
remote → re-mote → 2 syllables
2.
wild → wild (one vowel sound, no break) → 1 syllable
3.
potato → po-ta-to → 3 syllables
4.
apple → ap-ple → 2 syllables
5.
diagram → di-a-gram → 3 syllables
6.
how → how (one vowel sound) → 1 syllable
7.
oxygen → ox-y-gen → 3 syllables
8.
circus → cir-cus → 2 syllables
9.
rain → rain (one vowel sound) → 1 syllable
10.
camera → cam-er-a → 3 syllables
Now let’s double-check each:
- remote: “re” and “mote” — yes, 2
- wild: just one sound /waɪld/ — 1
- potato: “po”, “ta”, “to” — 3
- apple: “ap”, “ple” — 2
- diagram: “di”, “a”, “gram” — 3
- how: /haʊ/ — 1
- oxygen: “ox”, “y”, “gen” — 3
- circus: “cir”, “cus” — 2
- rain: /reɪn/ — 1
- camera: “cam”, “er”, “a” — 3
All correct.
Final Answer:
remote: 2
wild: 1
potato: 3
apple: 2
diagram: 3
how: 1
oxygen: 3
circus: 2
rain: 1
camera: 3
