Question

one of a set of multiple possible spoken sounds used to pronounce a single phoneme :

• A. Morpheme
• B. Allophone
• C. Syllable
• D. Sonorants

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Allophone

• A morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in a language. It can be a single word or a part of a word that carries meaning.

• A syllable is a unit of speech sound that typically contains a vowel sound (or sometimes a vowel sound with surrounding consonants). It is the building block of words and helps determine how words are pronounced, stressed, and divided in spoken language.

• Sonorants are speech sounds that are produced with a relatively open vocal tract, allowing for a continuous airflow, which results in a more resonant and sustained sound. These sounds are typically voiced, meaning the vocal cords vibrate during their production.
