Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
A diphthong always occupies ________ syllable(s).
Answer: C
A diphthong always occupies one syllable. A diphthong is a glide from one vowel quality to another within a single syllable, as in the vowels of 'my' or 'boy'. Two vowel sounds that belong to separate syllables, as in 'create', are not a diphthong. Three, two or zero syllables is therefore wrong: a diphthong is a vowel and every syllable has at least one vowel, so zero is impossible.
