Explicación
In English language, a macron (ˉ) is used to indicate a long vowel sound. For example, the word "fǒr" has a long 'o' sound. The other options provided do not relate to the use of a macron. A short sound would not require a macron. Stress refers to the emphasis placed on a particular syllable in a word, not the length of the vowel sound. A silent letter is a letter that is pronounced in some words but not in others, such as the 'k' in 'knee' or 'knight'. A diphthong is a combination of two vowel sounds in a single syllable, such as 'ai' in 'pain' or 'ea' in 'beard'.
