Which of the following patterns equates to a vowel followed by a consonant followed by a vowel?

The correct choice represents the desired pattern of a vowel followed by a consonant followed by another vowel correctly. In this case, the representation indicates that after the initial vowel, there is a consonant that then precedes a second vowel.

This construction is essential for understanding syllable structure in phonetics and phonology and is useful for tasks in reading instruction and syllabication strategies. The pattern can illustrate how syllables might be divided in words, which is crucial for helping students decode and pronounce unfamiliar words accurately.

In contrast, the other patterns do not accurately mirror the pattern of a vowel followed by a consonant followed by another vowel. They may represent different structures that do not fulfill the specific requirement of having the sequence of a vowel, then a consonant, and then a vowel.
