Question

How many syllables are there in two words satisfaction and solicitation ?

• A. One and Two respectively
• B. Two and Three respectively
• C. Three and Four respectively
• D. Four and Five respectively

Answer 1

The correct option is D Four and Five respectively

Syllable means a single unit of speech, either a whole word or one of the parts into which a word can be separated, usually containing a vowel.

Satisfaction has 4 syllables. If we divide the word into syllables it will become sat-is-fac-tion thus, there are 4 units of speech.

Similarly, Solicitation has 5 syllables. If we divide the word into syllables, it will become so-lic-i-ta-tion.

Thus, the first word has 4 syllables and the second word has 5 syllables. Hence, option D is correct.
