Question

What do you call a word with only one syllable?

• A. Trisyllabic
• B. Disyllabic
• C. Monosyllabic
• D. Polysyllabic

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Monosyllabic

Words like pen, cup, and eye consist of a single syllable, hence they are monosyllabic. Syllables are determined by the presence of vowel sounds, not necessarily spelling.
