Which of the following is an example of a CVC (Consonant, Vowel, Consonant) word?

Elephant
Dog
Shine
Stair

The correct answer is: Dog

A CVC word is characterized by its simple structure, consisting of a consonant followed by a vowel and finishing with another consonant. The word "dog" fits this definition perfectly, as it begins with a consonant ('d'), followed by a vowel ('o'), and ends with a consonant ('g'). In contrast, "elephant" contains multiple syllables and does not follow the CVC structure. "Shine" includes a digraph ('sh') which changes its structure, making it not a straightforward CVC word. Similarly, "stair" has a vowel combination and does not meet the CVC criteria. Thus, "dog" is indeed the example that meets the parameters of a CVC word.
