Answer 1

A) Maddie can determine the syllabic division, pronunciation, definition, etymology, part of speech, singular spelling, and plural spelling.

Step-by-step explanation:

The online rhetorical dictionary includes information about the syllabic division when we see how the word is broken into syllables. The pronunciation is also written as "əˈsindəˌtän". The definition is included and followed by the etymology (origin) of the word. Asyndeton is listed as a noun and it clearly shows its singular and plural spelling.
