Answer for screen readers
VC/V is the common division principle for the word 'ancient' based on common vowel-consonant syllable division patterns.
More Information
The VC/V pattern splits the word 'ancient' as 'an/cient', focusing on separating the consonant that follows the first vowel, which is typical in two-syllable words with vowel-consonant patterns.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming a word should always be divided after the first vowel, leading to mispronunciations. It's important to recognize the consonant's role after the vowel in determining the correct division pattern.
