To analyze the word "personification":

  1. Identify the vowels in the word: e, o, i, i, a, i, o.
  2. Count those vowels:
    • Alone (apart): e, o, a, and the instances of i are grouped (as 'i' appears three times but isn't next to another vowel), so i is counted alone each time.
    • Together (as vowel teams): There are no instances of vowel teams in "personification" where vowels are directly next to each other.

Breakdown:

  • Alone (apart/alone): e, o, i, i, a, i, o = 7 vowels
    • 5 are considered apart (e, o, a, i (from first i), i (from second i))
  • Together: There are 0 vowel teams as all vowels stand alone.

So effectively, we have:

  • 6 vowels alone when counting each instance of 'i'.
  • 0 vowels together.

Thus, the correct answer based on the options you provided would reflect 7 different vowel sounds in total with 5 alone and 0 together. However, none of the provided options match this exactly.

So the answer could be interpreted to fit closest to: 5 apart/alone and 2 together for a total of 7 different vowel sounds in all, if "together" refers to the counts of 'i' in instances in a different manner. But it's important to point out that actually there are 0 together.
