In the word "sat", what are the onset and rime?

Explanation:
Think of a syllable as parts: the onset is the initial sound before the vowel, and the rime is the rest of the syllable starting with the vowel. For "sat," the initial sound before the vowel is s, so the onset is s. The part that follows the vowel is "at" (the vowel sound and the ending consonant), so the rime is at. This matches how we split a word into onset plus rime. So the correct pairing is onset s and rime at.
