Question

Select the descriptors used to distinguish different consonants


Voicing, Manner of articulation & place of articulation


Voicing, manner of articulation & height


Voicing, place of articulation & airstream mechanism


Voicing, place of articulation & number of articulators

Answer 1

The correct descriptors used to distinguish different consonants are:

**Voicing, Manner of articulation & Place of articulation**

These three features help to categorize consonants based on whether the vocal cords vibrate (voicing), how the airflow is obstructed (manner of articulation), and where the obstruction occurs in the vocal tract (place of articulation).
