In terms of word structure, what is a rime?

  1. A strategy that shows readers and writers how to organize important information

  2. A meaningful linguistic unit that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful elements

  3. The initial part of a word that precedes the vowel

  4. The part of the letter pattern in a word that includes the vowel and any consonants that follow

The correct answer is: The part of the letter pattern in a word that includes the vowel and any consonants that follow

A rime, in terms of word structure, is the part of the letter pattern in a word that includes the vowel and any consonants that follow. This is the correct answer because a rime specifically refers to the vowel and any subsequent consonant sounds in a syllable. In contrast, the other options are not related to the concept of a rime. Option A refers to a strategy for organizing information, while Option B describes a morpheme. Option C is incorrect as it refers to the onset, which is the initial consonant or consonant cluster of a syllable, not the rime.
