Which organ controls the flow of air from the lungs during speech?
Larynx
Diaphragm
Vocal cords
Pharynx
Where are the vocal cords located?
In the pharynx

/p/, /b/, /m/
/t/, /th/
/k/, /g/
What is the main function of the soft palate (velum) in speech?
To produce bilabial sounds

To control nasal airflow
Which organ helps produce sounds like /f/, /v/, /t/, and /th/?
Teeth
Tongue
Hard palate
Glottis
What is the role of the diaphragm in speech?
To vibrate for voiced sounds
To regulate airflow from the lungs

Which of these organs is crucial for articulating both consonants and vowels?
Vocal cords
Tongue
Nasal cavity
Glottis
How does the nasal cavity contribute to speech sounds?
By acting as a resonating chamber
By shaping airflow for nasal sounds
By controlling the pitch and tone of sounds
By producing voiced sounds
What makes human language differ from animal communication?
Animals do not use language in its truest sense because they do not communicate in complex, while humans can construct grammatically correct sentences as they speak.
Human language is more complex than animal communication.
Human language has a variety of languages while animal communication only relies on signals.
Human language and animal communication just have the same communication process.
Why do other primates not communicate in the same way as humans?
Because they do not have a need to communicate
Because they do not have the intelligence
Because they do not have vocal cords
Because they lack the specific biological faculty for communication
