Question

look at the underlined syllable in the word. what is its syllable type?

open
vce
closed

Explanation:

Analyze the underlined word

The word shown in the image is "brave", and the entire word is underlined.

Identify the spelling pattern

The word "brave" has a single vowel "a", followed by a single consonant "v", and ends with a silent "e". This follows the Vowel-Consonant-e (VCe) pattern.

Determine the syllable type

In phonics, a syllable ending in a vowel, a consonant, and a silent "e" is classified as a VCe (Vowel-Consonant-e) syllable type, where the first vowel is long and the "e" is silent.

Answer:

• Open
• VCe (Correct answer)
• Closed
