Question
Choose the word with the correct magic “e”.
Nife
Knefe
Knife
Hint:
The magic e usually comes at the end of a meaningful word. It has no sound of its own but the other vowel in the word is pronounced as itself. For example, in the word 'hide', 'e' is silent and the 'i' is pronounced as 'i' ('aai') and not as 'ee'.
The correct answer is: Knife
Among the words given, 'nife' is not a meaningful word and hence cannot have a magic e. 'Knefe' is again not a meaningful word and cannot have a magic e either. 'Knife' is a meaningful word, the 'e' at the end is silent, and the 'i' makes the sound 'aai', which is why it can be said that 'knife has a magic e. Therefore the answer is KNIFE.
