Question

The word with one syllable is called:

• A. Monophthong
• B. Monosyllable
• C. Monometer
• D. Disyllable

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Monosyllable

• Monosyllable: A word with only one syllable (e.g., cat, dog, run).

• Disyllable: A word with two syllables (e.g., apple, table).

• Monophthong: A single, pure vowel sound (e.g., /i/, /ɪ/), not related to syllable count.

• Monometer: A line of poetry with one metrical foot, not related to word syllables.

🔹 Therefore, a word with one syllable is called a monosyllable.
