Explanation:

First Question:

Step1: Divide the word "opportunity" into syllables.

The word "opportunity" is pronounced as /ˌɒpəˈtjuːnəti/ (or /ˌɑːpərˈtuːnəti/ in American English). Breaking it down: op - por - tu - ni - ty. Wait, no, let's do it correctly. Let's split by vowel sounds. The vowels are o, o, u, i, y (but y here is a vowel sound). Wait, the correct syllabification is op - por - tu - ni - ty? No, wait, "opportunity" is op - por - tu - ni - ty? Wait, no, let's count the syllables. Let's say the word is o - ppor - tu - ni - ty? No, better to use the standard syllabification. The correct syllables for "opportunity" are: op - por - tu - ni - ty? Wait, no, let's check. The word is spelled o-p-p-o-r-t-u-n-i-t-y. The syllables are: op (o-p), por (p-o-r), tu (t-u), ni (n-i), ty (t-y). Wait, that's 5? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, "opportunity" is pronounced as /ˌɒpəˈtjuːnəti/ (British) or /ˌɑːpərˈtuːnəti/ (American). Let's split the phonetic transcription: ˌɒp - ə - ˈtjuː - nə - ti? No, that's not right. Wait, let's use the method of counting vowel sounds. The word has the vowel sounds: o (in op), o (in por), u (in tu), i (in ni), and y (in ty, which is a vowel sound). Wait, but maybe I miscounted. Wait, let's check a dictionary. The Merriam-Webster dictionary says "opportunity" is pronounced /ˌäpərˈtünətē/ (American) or /ˌɒpəˈtjuːnɪti/ (British). The syllabification is: op - por - tu - ni - ty? No, the dictionary's syllabification is op·por·tu·ni·ty. So that's 5 syllables? Wait, no, op (1), por (2), tu (3), ni (4), ty (5). Wait, but maybe I was wrong. Wait, let's count again. The word is o-p-p-o-r-t-u-n-i-t-y. The vowels are at positions 1 (o), 4 (o), 7 (u), 9 (i), 11 (y). So that's 5 vowel sounds, hence 5 syllables.

Step2: Confirm the number of syllables.

After correctly syllabifying "opportunity" as op - por - tu - ni - ty, we have 5 syllables. Wait, but maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's check an online source. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, "opportunity" has 5 syllables: op - por - tu - ni - ty. So the correct number is 5.

Photosynthesis is a term in biology (Natural Science, subfield Biology). The definition of photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food (glucose) and release oxygen. So the first option "the process by which green plants use sunlight to make food" matches this definition. The other options are incorrect: "the study of human life" is anthropology or sociology, "the process of choosing pictures from a set" is not related, and "the study of cameras" is not related.

Answer:

5 (the option with 5)
