Dear Teachers,
I am Emil Chalhoub and I have been majoring in English language studies at ELTE in Hungary. I took an exam today that was extremely difficult compared to previous tests. The sad fact is that I scored 26 points, and I need 27 points to pass the exam. Now, I am trying hard to find a point at any cost in order to pass it.
I found a task which I think has an answer that is not obvious. (at least for me)
The task is the following:
The underlined vowel in one of the following words may be syncopated. Which?
1, Pámela
2, vanílla
3, júbilee
4, cólony
My answer was the third one, jubilee; however, the professor told me that it was the first one. Why? Could we somehow explain it in such a way that the third one could be the answer too?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Emil Chalhoub
