What does the term multi-syllable words refer to?

Words that contain only one vowel
Words consisting of more than one syllable
Words that are spelled phonetically
Words that are composed of prefixes and suffixes

The correct answer is: Words consisting of more than one syllable

The term "multi-syllable words" specifically refers to words that consist of more than one syllable. A syllable is a single, unbroken sound of a spoken or written word, and multi-syllable words are formed when there are two or more of these sounds combined together. This characteristic allows for a greater variety of word structures and complexities in language. Other options address different aspects of words but do not accurately reflect the definition of multi-syllable words. For instance, the presence of a single vowel does not define word syllable count, while phonetic spelling pertains to pronunciation rather than the number of syllables. Additionally, the composition of words with prefixes and suffixes relates to word structure rather than simply the concept of syllable count.
