In the context of word components, what does "rime" include?

  1. The initial consonant blend

  2. The ability to generate synonyms

  3. The vowel and any consonants that follow

  4. The main idea of the text

The correct answer is: The vowel and any consonants that follow

In the context of word components, "rime" includes the vowel and any consonants that follow it. This term is used in phonological awareness to describe the part of a syllable that consists of the vowel and any consonants directly following it. It helps students understand the structure of words and is an essential concept for decoding and encoding words in reading and spelling. The other options are not related to the concept of "rime." Option A refers to the initial consonant blend, which is a different aspect of word structure. Option B refers to generating synonyms, which is unrelated to phonological awareness. Option D refers to the main idea of the text, which is a reading comprehension skill and not directly related to word components.
