Here's why:
* Syllable Structure: A syllable consists of a vowel sound (the nucleus) and may or may not have consonant sounds before (onset) or after (coda).
* Closed Syllable: A closed syllable ends in a consonant sound.
* "Profile" Breakdown:
* Pro - The first syllable has the vowel sound "o" and ends with the consonant "l".
* File - The second syllable has the vowel sound "i" and ends with the consonant "l".
Since both syllables end in consonant sounds, "profile" is a closed syllable juncture.
