3. motion: Syllables: mo - tion. "Mo" ends with 'o' (open syllable, long vowel /əʊ/), so not two closed.
4. picket: Syllables: pick - et. "Pick" (ends with 'k', short /ɪ/) and "et" (ends with 't', short /e/) are both closed.
5. stolen: Syllables: sto - len. "Sto" ends with 'o' (open syllable, long /əʊ/), so not two closed.
6. checkbook: Syllables: check - book. "Check" (ends with 'k', short /e/) and "book" (ends with 'k', short /ʊ/) are both closed.
