Final answer:
The statement regarding consonant-le syllables being able to occur anywhere within a word and being either stressed or unstressed is false. Consonant-le syllables are typically at the end of words and are unstressed, with the [k] spelling changing based on the preceding letter types.Option b is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'Consonant-le (Cle) syllables can occur anywhere within a word and be stressed or unstressed.' is false. While consonant-le syllables can appear at the end of words, they do generally not occur at the beginning or middle of English words.
Furthermore, in the case of words ending with the consonant-le pattern, the syllable is typically unstressed. Examples include 'gable (VCle pattern with a long vowel)' and 'gentle (VCCle pattern with a short vowel)'.
When there is a consonant before the [k] that is followed by an , the [k] is spelled ; when it follows a stressed short vowel, it is spelled ; and when it follows either a weak vowel or a stressed long vowel, it is spelled.
