Praxis 5001 Practice Exams Practice Question

Which of the following sounds is the rime in the word “flat”?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The rime of a word is composed of the vowel sound and any following consonants. In "flat," the vowel sound is /a/, followed by the consonant /t/, making the rime /at/.

Option A (/a/) is incorrect as it only represents the vowel sound without the consonant.

Option B (/i/) is incorrect as it represents a different vowel sound not present in "flat."

Option C (/ii/) is also incorrect, as it does not correspond to any sound in "flat."

Option D (/a/) correctly identifies the vowel sound present in the rime, making it the appropriate choice.
