Question
Which sound label is used when the tongue is raised but does not actually make contact with any part of the roof of the mouth, as in /r/?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
For sounds like /r/, where the tongue is raised near the alveolar ridge but without contact, the label post-alveolar is used.
Hint
'Post' means after, so this area is just behind the alveolar ridge.
