How many graphemes exist in the English language?

  1. 20

  2. 26

  3. 44

  4. 52

The correct answer is: 26

In the English language, there are 26 graphemes. A grapheme is the smallest unit of a writing system that represents a phoneme (a sound) in a given language. The English alphabet consists of 26 letters, each representing a unique sound or combination of sounds. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the number of graphemes in the English language.
