To identify adjectives that end with a vowel followed by a consonant, we follow these steps:
1. List Creation: We start by having a predefined list of adjectives:
- "happy"
- "blue"
- "sweet"
- "maroon"
- "rapid"
- "Epic"
- "Heroic"
- "Acoustic"
- "Robust"
2. Define Vowels and Consonants: We recognize vowels as 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'. Consonants are all other alphabetical characters.
3. Check the Ending of Each Adjective:
We will examine the second to last character and the last character of each adjective.
- "happy": `p` is not a vowel, not considered.
- "blue": `u` is a vowel, but `e` is a vowel, so not considered.
- "sweet": `e` is a vowel and `t` is a consonant, so it's considered.
- "maroon": `o` is a vowel and `n` is a consonant, so it's considered.
- "rapid": `i` is a vowel and `d` is a consonant, so it's considered.
- "Epic": `i` is a vowel and `c` is a consonant, so it's considered.
- "Heroic": `o` is a vowel and `c` is a consonant, so it's considered.
- "Acoustic": `i` is a vowel and `c` is a consonant, so it's considered.
- "Robust": `u` is a vowel, but `t` is a consonant, so it's not considered based on our chosen words.
4. Filtering the Adjectives Based on the Rule:
The adjectives that meet our criteria (ending with a vowel followed by a consonant) are:
- sweet
- maroon
- rapid
- Epic
- Heroic
- Acoustic
5. Conclusion: The adjectives that end in a vowel followed by a consonant are:
```
['sweet', 'maroon', 'rapid', 'Epic', 'Heroic', 'Acoustic']
```
These are the adjectives ending with a vowel followed by a consonant based on the given list:
- sweet
- maroon
- rapid
- Epic
- Heroic
- Acoustic
