Which example best represents a CVC(e) pattern?

The CVC(e) pattern refers to a specific structure in words where 'C' stands for consonant, 'V' for vowel, and 'C' again for consonant, with an 'e' at the end that typically makes the vowel sound long. In the case of the example provided, the word "Mike" fits this pattern perfectly.

Breaking it down, "Mike" consists of:

• A consonant (M) at the start,

• A vowel (I) in the middle,

• A consonant (K) followed by a silent 'e' at the end, which lengthens the vowel sound, making it the CVC(e) format.

This structure is essential because it showcases how the silent 'e' alters the vowel sound that precedes it, changing pronunciation from a short to a long vowel sound.

In contrast, the other examples do not adhere to this specific pattern. For instance, "Heath" does not have a silent 'e' affecting the vowel, "York" contains a blend that doesn't fit the CVC(e) criteria, and "Skittles" consists of multiple syllables and does not maintain the CVC(e) structure with a silent 'e' at the end
