• The specific parts of speech anatomy

• The historical evolution of languages

• The physical act of writing

In the context of speech production, what is primarily used instead of gestures in conventional communication?

• Body language

• Sound-based signals

• Visual symbols

• Musical tones

Which of the following describes the process of sound production?

• Sounds are produced by expelling air from the lungs.

• Sounds are produced only by inhaling air.

• Sounds are generated exclusively through vibrations.

• Sounds are created by moving the mouth without air.

What happens to the vocal folds when producing voiced sounds?

• They remain apart.

• They vibrate when air passes through them.

• They are completely closed.

• They create a whistling sound.

The term 'articulators' refers to:

• The mechanism of speech production is universal across all languages.

• Sound production does not require energy.

• The vocal folds do not influence the quality of sound.

What role does the uvula play in sound production?

• Amplifies sound vibrations.

• Can block or allow air to pass through the nasal cavity.

• Is responsible for the tone of the sound.

• Has no role in sound production.

Which of the following best describes the process of airflow?

• It refers to the speed at which sound travels.

• It deals with how air is expelled or sucked in for speech.

• It describes the frequency of the vibrations of the vocal folds.

• It involves the movement of the tongue during speech.

In the production of the sound 'da', what is the process of airflow?

• The air is sucked through the nose.

• The air is expelled from the lungs.

• The air is held in the throat.

• The air is completely blocked.

What is the last step in the speech production mechanism?

• The air travels through the nasal cavity.
