Which statement correctly defines a digraph?

• A. A single letter representing a sound
• B. A combination of two letters making one sound
• C. Two sounds in one letter
• D. A word with two syllables

Answer: (B)

A digraph is when two letters work together to create one sound. That’s exactly what the statement describes: a combination of two letters making one sound, like “sh” in ship or “ch” in chair. The other ideas don’t match this idea: a single letter can represent a sound on its own, two sounds in one letter isn’t what a digraph is, and a word with two syllables relates to syllable count, not how letters form sounds.
