What is a consonant blend?

A vowel team A single consonant followed by a vowel Two or more consecutive consonants whose sounds are blended A syllable type

Correct Answer:

Two or more consecutive consonants whose sounds are blended

Explanation:

Consonant blends are two or more consonants that appear together in a syllable and keep their own sounds when you pronounce the word. That means you can hear each consonant in the cluster, like the /b/ and /l/ in blue or the /s/ and /t/ in stop before the vowel. So the description that fits is two or more consecutive consonants whose sounds are blended. It isn’t a vowel team, which would involve two vowels making one sound (like ai in rain or ea in bread). It isn’t a single consonant followed by a vowel (that’s a CV pattern). It also isn’t describing a syllable type; blends specifically refer to the consonant cluster and how its sounds work together.
