Answer 1

For syllables, it is easiest to say the word aloud and count it out. The syllable is counting out the vowel sounds (only way I can think to describe it). For example, "water" (wah-ter) has two syllables. So agreeable (ah-gree-ah-ble) has four. So the right answer is D.

I hope this is helpful- syllables is hard to explain...

Answer 2

The word agreeable is correctly divided into syllables in D: A-gree-a-ble.

Step-by-step explanation:

For dividing correctly into syllables in this word, you should underline the vowels first, t make it easier. In this case the vowels are the ones in bold Agreeable. Syllables are formed by the vowels; every syllable has one and only one syllable sound, though many vowels are written with two or more letters. So, after recognizing the vowels, the division should be easier: a-gree-a-ble.
