  Sand

  Gate
Correct Answer(s)

The words "bait" and "gate" have a long A sound. In "bait," the AI sound is pronounced as a long A. In "gate," the A is also pronounced as a long A. However, the words "sand" and "tan" do not have a long A sound. In "sand," the A is pronounced as a short A, and in "tan," the A is pronounced as a short A as well. Therefore, the correct words that have a long A sound are "bait" and "gate."

For example, the short vowel sound of "a" is pronounced as "æ" in words like "cat," while the long vowel sound of "a" is pronounced as "ay" in words like "cake." Therefore, the statement that short vowel sounds say the letters sound and long vowel sounds say the letters name is true.
