A diphthong is :
Answer: B
A diphthong is a sound formed by the combination of two vowels in a single syllable.
In a diphthong the tongue glides from one vowel position to another within one syllable, as in my /ai/, boy /oi/ and now /au/. A pure vowel, or monophthong, keeps one quality throughout.
An unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one describes an iamb, a metrical foot. Unaccented syllables said with little or no stress describe weak syllables. A low pitch with a low frequency describes intonation or sound quality. None of these defines a diphthong.
