Final answer:
The vowel team that appears twice in 'downtown' is 'ow'. The 'w' in 'ow' acts as a vowel in combination with 'o' to form the vowel team.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vowel team that appears twice in the word d__nt__n is 'oo'. The correct word is 'downtown', in which the vowel team 'ow' appears twice, once in down- and again in -town. The letter 'w' acts as a vowel when it teams up with an a, e, or o to spell a single sound, as in draw, few, and low. Thus, in the context of the word 'downtown', 'w' is part of the vowel team 'ow'.
Label each word as having a short or long vowel i:
