Q80. Choose the correct penta syllabic word.
·
Correct Answer: (A4) identification
·
Explanation: "Penta" means
five. Let's count the syllables:

o
(A2) i-ni-tia-tive (5)
o
(A3) in-tel-li-gent (4)
o
(A4) i-den-ti-fi-ca-tion (6)
o

answer is (A4). Let's re-syllabify.
o

o
(A2) i-ni-tia-tive (5)

This is another flawed question. Both (A1) and
(A4) have 6 syllables. (A2) has 5 syllables. The question asks for a penta-syllabic
(5) word, but the provided answer is (A4), which has 6. The correct answer should
be (A2).
o

Explanation: A penta-syllabic word has
five syllables. "i-ni-tia-tive" (A2) has five syllables. The other
options do not: "in-tel-li-gent" (4), "in-fe-ri-or-i-ty"
(6), and "i-den-ti-fi-ca-tion" (6). (Note: The provided answer key in
the source may be A4, which is incorrect).
