Question

The roof of the mouth is:

• A. Artificial articulator
• B. Active articulator
• C. Contrastive articulator
• D. Passive articulator

Hint:

Contrastive articulators are the fixed parts of the vocal tract that interact with active articulators to produce speech sounds.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The roof of the mouth, specifically the hard palate, is considered a contrastive articulator. It plays a role in articulation but doesn't move during speech.
