Read the excerpt from "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell. I think the following rules will cover most cases: (

i) Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. (ii) Never use a long word where a short one will do. (iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. (iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active. (v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. (vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything barbarous. Which best describes George Orwell’s purpose and the way he achieves it in this excerpt? Orwell’s purpose is to inform readers about political situations. He achieves this by providing a list of specific rules for writing simply. Orwell’s purpose is to inform readers about political situations.

Try to pronounce the initial (first) sound of the word (thin) and identify its place of articulation. *
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Concerning the place of articulation, the initial sound of thin is a voiceless dental.

Explanation:

Place of articulation is one of the three dimensions used to classify consonantal sounds (as well as voicing and manner of articulation), and refers to the area of the mouth where the constriction happens.

Dental sounds are oral and can be voiced or voiceless. They are called apico-dental sounds because the tip of the tongue, known as the lower articulator, articulates with the upper front teeth through soft contact. The symbol of this sound is [θ], called ‘theta’.
