Is right rake a long or sure is cake short vowel?

This is a bit of a trick question! It's designed to make you think about the spelling of words and how it relates to vowel sounds.

Here's the breakdown:

* Right rake: The word "rake" has a long "a" sound, as in "say."

* Sure is cake: The word "cake" has a short "a" sound, as in "cat."

However, the question is trying to make you think about the "a" in the word "rake," which is spelled differently than "cake." It's a play on words!
