    Question

    Read the word and identify weather “Y” has a long sound or short sound.
    Youth

    1. Long “Y”    
    2. Short “Y”    

    hintHint:

    Since "Y" is a semi-vowel, it is pronounced both like a consonant and a vowel depending on the position of the letter in any word. It becomes long when it is pronounced like a vowel and short when pronounced like a consonant.

    The correct answer is: Short “Y”

      The correct answer is "Short Y".
      When "Y" is located in the beginning of a word, it behaves like a consonant and when it is in the middle or the end of a word, it behaves like a vowel. Here, we have "Y" in the beginning of the word "Youth" and so it will be pronounced as a consonant and have a short sound. Therefore, the correct answer is "Short Y".
