Tap to reveal answer

Answer

A syllable is a unit of the spoken language that is made up of one sound. Usually, syllables are separated by how many times a vowel is heard separately.

The word "pen" can be said in one sound, uninterrupted. Also, there is only one vowel sound; thus, the word "pen" only has one syllable.
