The initial sound in the word thin is a:
AAlveolar
BDental
CGlottal
DVelar
Answer:
B. Dental
Read Explanation:
The initial sound in "thin" is /θ/ (as in think), which is a voiceless dental fricative.
It is produced by placing the tongue against the upper teeth, hence dental.
Alveolar: tongue against the alveolar ridge (e.g., /t/, /d/, /s/, /z/)
Glottal: produced at the glottis (e.g., /h/)
Velar: back of the tongue against the soft palate or velum (e.g., /k/, /g/, /ŋ/)
So, /θ/ in "thin" is clearly dental.
