Question

Which of the following words contains a syllabic consonant?

• A. Little
• B. Bottle
• C. Cattle
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

D. All of the above

In words like little (/lɪtl/), bottle (/bɒtl/), and cattle (/kætl/), the /l/ sound in the second syllable forms the nucleus, acting as a syllabic consonant. These syllables lack a vowel, which is a key trait of syllabic consonants.
