Ezequiel Romero · Answer 1

BY a ROUTE obSCURE and LONEly

Explanation:

A syllable is essentially a single unit of speech and that unit of speech tends to contain a vowel sound and that may have a consonant after it or before it, it may even have what is called a cluster of consonants, which means more than one consonant before it or after it.

An unstressed syllable is the part of the word that you don't emphasize or accent, like the to - in today, or the - day in Sunday.

The stressed syllable is written by capital letters and unstressed syllable by lowercase letters.

So the sentence will be represented as

BY a ROUTE obSCURE and LONEly

Tatiana Carroll · Answer 2

BY a ROUTE obSCURE and LONEly

Explanation:

A syllable contains one vowel sound and its pronunciation is as a unit.

Example of a syllable:

cat : 1 syllable

Environmental - en-vi-ron-men-tal = 5 syllables

A stressed syllable have higher pitch, longer duration, and usually pronounced more louder than unstressed syllables. Example: NEL in PersonNEL, TO in TOtally, DU in InDUstrial

whereas an unstressed syllable is descried as the part of a word without emphasize. Example: "to" in today, "day" in Sunday
