50+ Syllables worksheets for 2nd Grade on Quizizz | Free & Printable - Free Printable

Let’s solve each question step by step by identifying the word represented by the image and then counting its syllables.

---

1. Image: Dog

- The picture shows a dog.
- The word “dog” has 1 syllable.
- You say it as one beat: /dɒg/ — just one clap.
- ✔ Correct answer: D. 1

---

2. Image: Helicopter

- The picture shows a helicopter.
- Break it down: he-li-copter
- That’s 3 syllables: he (1) – li (2) – cop-ter (3) — note “copter” is often pronounced as one syllable in casual speech, but technically “helicopter” is 3 syllables: /ˈhɛl.ɪˌkɑp.tər/
- ✔ Correct answer: B. 3

3. Image: Gummy Bears (or similar candy)

- The picture looks like gummy bears or colorful chewy candies.
- But since it’s likely meant to represent the word “candy”, let’s check:
- Candy = can-dy → 2 syllables.
- Alternatively, if it’s meant to be “gummy”, that’s gum-my → 2 syllables.
- Either way, the most common interpretation for this image in early literacy is “candy” → 2 syllables.
- ✔ Correct answer: B. 2

> *Note: If the image is specifically “gummy bear”, that would be 3 syllables (“gum-my-bear”), but the image doesn’t clearly show “bear” — it’s more abstract candy shapes. Given the options, 2 is the best fit.*

4. Image: Airplane

- The picture shows an airplane.
- Break it down: air-plane → 2 syllables.
- Wait — let’s double-check: /ˈɛr.plen/ — yes, 2 syllables.
- BUT — look at the options: A. 4, B. 3 — no 2? That’s odd.
- Maybe it’s meant to be “aeroplane”? In British English, “aeroplane” is 3 syllables: ae-ro-plane.
- Or perhaps the image is interpreted as “jet plane”? But that’s two words.
- Let’s reevaluate: the image is clearly a simple cartoon airplane — likely meant to be “airplane”, which is 2 syllables — but 2 is not an option.

Wait — maybe there’s a mistake? Let’s look again.

Actually, “airplane” is commonly taught as 2 syllables, but sometimes children are taught to break it as air - plane = 2.

But since 2 isn’t an option, and 3 is, perhaps the intended word is “aeroplane” (used in some regions), which is 3 syllables.

Alternatively, maybe the image is meant to be “propeller plane”? Too long.

Given the options (A.4, B.3), and assuming the test expects “aeroplane” or perhaps miscounts, the most reasonable choice among given options is:

✔ B. 3 — if we assume the word is “aeroplane” or if the test counts “air-plane” with a slight stretch (some dialects may emphasize 3 beats).

But strictly speaking, “airplane” = 2 syllables. Since 2 is not an option, and 3 is the closest plausible answer (perhaps due to regional variation or teaching method), we’ll go with B. 3.

## ✔ Final Answers:

1. D. 1
2. B. 3
3. B. 2
4. B. 3
