You scored %%SCORE%% out of %%TOTAL%%.

Your answers are highlighted below.

Question 1

Are [ʙ] and [ʀ] of the same manner of articulation?

A	yes
B	no Hint: Both [ʙ] and [ʀ] are produced with continuous vibrations between the active and passive articulators; they are thus both trills.

Question 2

Are [ɮ] and [ɣ] of the same manner of articulation?

A	yes
B	no Hint: Both [ɮ]and [ɣ] are articulated with continuous obstructed airflow creating turbulence; they are thus both are fricatives.

Question 3

Are [c] and [ç] of the same manner of articulation?

A	no
B	yes Hint: [c] is a palatal stop produced with an initial complete closure of airflow, whereas [ç] is a palatal fricative with continuous vibrations between the active and passive articulators.

Question 4

Are [ʋ] and [j] of the same manner of articulation?

A	yes
B	no Hint: Both [ʋ] and [j] are articulated with very minimal obstruction between the active and passive articulators; they are thus approximants.

Question 5

Are [ɓ] and [ɗ] of the same manner of articulation?

A	yes
B	no Hint: Both [ɓ] and [ɗ] are implosive stops with complete obstruction of airflow at closure.

Question 6

Are [r] and [ɾ] of the same manner of articulation?

A	no
B	yes Hint: [r] is an alveolar trill produced with continuous vibrations between the active and passive articulators, whereas [ɾ] is an alveolar flap/tap articulated with one movement of the blade of the tongue.

Question 7

Are [ʎ] and [ⱱ] of the same manner of articulation?

A	no
B	yes Hint: [ʎ] is a palatal lateral approximant articulated with very minimal obstruction between the active and passive articulators, whereas [ⱱ ] is a labiodental flap/tap and is thus made with a quick, single contact between articulators.

Question 8

Are [ʁ] and [ʀ] of the same manner of articulation?

A	yes Hint: [ʁ] is a uvular fricative with continuous vibrations between the active and passive articulators creating turbulence (aperiodic sound waves), whereas [ʀ] is a uvular trill produced with continuous vibrations between the active and passive articulators.
B	no

Question 9

Are [ɸ] and [θ] of the same manner of articulation?

A	yes
B	no Hint: [ɸ] and [θ] are both articulated with continuous obstructed airflow between the passive and active articulators, creating turbulence (aperiodic sound waves); they are thus both fricatives.

Question 10

Are [ʘ] and [β] of the same manner of articulation?

A	yes Hint: [ʘ] is a bilabial click whereas, [β] is a bilabial fricative articulated with continuous obstructed airflow.
B	no
