Question

The english language has ________ letters than phonemes, and the consonant phonemes generally carry ________ information than the vowel phonemes.

Answer 1

The correct answers are fewer and more.
There are fewer letters than phonemes in the English language, which means that there are more sounds which you can produce than there are letters to write them. Additionally, consonants can give you more information about the sound (whether it is nasal, aspirated, dental, etc.) than vowels (a, e, i, o, i, y) which don't have that many characteristics.
