Explanation:

To solve this, we first recall the syllable division rules for V/CV (vowel - consonant - vowel, where the consonant goes with the second vowel) and VC/V (vowel - consonant, then vowel, where the consonant is a closed syllable before).

Step 1: Analyze each word for V/CV pattern

• hazard: ha - zard (V - CV, so V/CV)
• novel: no - vel (V - CV, so V/CV)
• savage: sa - vage (V - CV, so V/CV)
• balance: ba - lance (V - CV, so V/CV)
• result: re - sult (V - CV, so V/CV)
• vapor: va - por (V - CV, so V/CV)
• student: stu - dent (V - CV, so V/CV)
• credit: cre - dit (V - CV, so V/CV)
• modern: mo - dern (V - CV, so V/CV)
• final: fi - nal (V - CV, so V/CV)
• focus: fo - cus (V - CV, so V/CV)
• humor: hu - mor (V - CV, so V/CV)
• decent: de - cent (V - CV, so V/CV)

Step 2: Analyze each word for VC/V pattern

• vanish: van - ish (VC - V, so VC/V)
• proper: prop - er (VC - V, so VC/V)
• vivid: viv - id (VC - V, so VC/V)
• cubic: cub - ic (VC - V, so VC/V)
• rival: riv - al (VC - V, so VC/V)
• pilot: pil - ot (VC - V, so VC/V)
• habit: hab - it (VC - V, so VC/V)
