Which description correctly defines a CCVC pattern in words?

• A. Consonant-Vowel-Consonant-Consonant
• B. Consonant-Consonant-Vowel-Consonant
• C. Vowel-Consonant-Vowel-Consonant
• D. Consonant-Consonant-Vowel-Vowel

Answer: (B)

A CCVC word follows the order: two consonants in a row, then a vowel, and finally a consonant. For example, stop fits because s and t are both consonants, o is a vowel, and p is a consonant. The other patterns describe different orders of consonants and vowels (for instance, starting with a vowel, or having two vowels at the end), so they don’t match the CCVC sequence.
