The correct answer is option 'A', which is the letter "Y". In English, the letter "Y" is sometimes considered as the sixth vowel or a semi-vowel. Let's explore why this is the case.

Consonants and Vowels in English:
In English, there are 26 letters in the alphabet, and they are categorized into two main groups: consonants and vowels. Consonants are sounds produced by obstructing or constricting the airflow in some way, while vowels are sounds produced without any significant obstruction or constriction.

The Role of Y:
The letter "Y" can fulfill different roles in the English language. It can act as both a consonant and a vowel.

Y as a Consonant:
When "Y" is used as a consonant, it typically represents a consonant sound at the beginning of a word. For example, in words like "yellow" and "yes," "Y" is pronounced as a consonant sound, similar to the "yuh" sound.

Y as a Vowel:
In some cases, "Y" can function as a vowel. It acts as a vowel when it appears in the middle or at the end of a word and creates a vowel sound. For example, in words like "happy" and "baby," "Y" takes on the role of a vowel and produces a vowel sound, similar to the "ee" sound.

Semi-Vowel:
A semi-vowel is a sound that is produced with a slight constriction but still functions as a vowel. In this regard, "Y" can be considered a semi-vowel because although it has some consonant-like qualities when used at the beginning of a word, it also functions as a vowel in certain situations.

Conclusion:
In summary, the letter "Y" in English can be considered as the sixth vowel or a semi-vowel. While it typically acts as a consonant at the beginning of a word, it can also function as a vowel in the middle or at the end of a word, producing a vowel sound.

Double Vowel Words:
- Double vowel words are words that contain two consecutive vowels in them.
- Examples of double vowel words include "seven," "eight," and "one."

- Option 'a': Seven - This word contains two consecutive vowels 'e' and 'n', making it a double vowel word.
- Option 'b': Big - This word does not contain two consecutive vowels, making it not a double vowel word.
- Option 'c': Eight - This word contains two consecutive vowels 'e' and 'i', making it a double vowel word.
- Option 'd': One - This word contains two consecutive vowels 'o' and 'e', making it a double vowel word.

Conclusion:
- The word "big" does not have two consecutive vowels, so it is not a double vowel word.
