Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the problem, we need to identify the pattern or common feature shared by the words "Sale," "Tale," and "Male." Let us analyze these words based on the options provided.

1. Option 1: They have 2 vowels
   • Word "Sale" has the vowels 'a' and 'e'.
   • Word "Tale" has the vowels 'a' and 'e'.
   • Word "Male" has the vowels 'a' and 'e'.

   Each word contains exactly 2 vowels. This matches the description given in Option 1.

2. Option 2: They have 4 consonants
   • Each word only contains 2 consonants.

   This option is incorrect as each word does not contain 4 consonants.

3. Option 3: The words have no vowels
   • Each word does indeed contain vowels. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
4. Option 4: The words have no consonants
   • Each word does contain consonants, so this option is also incorrect.

Based on the analysis, Option 1: "They have 2 vowels" is the correct choice, as each word — "Sale," "Tale," and "Male" — indeed contains 2 vowels.
