What is a monophthong?

AA vowel glide from one sound to another

BA vowel sound with a single, constant articulatory position

CA consonant cluster

DA combination of vowels and consonants

Answer:

B. A vowel sound with a single, constant articulatory position

Read Explanation:

A monophthong, also called a pure vowel, maintains a steady articulatory position — no tongue or lip movement occurs. For example, in the word "sit", the /i/ sound is produced without any glide.
