	 2a Questão
	
	
	
	
	In Which alternative there is a WRONG concept?
		
	
	An allophone is one of a set of multiple possible spoken sounds (or phones) used to pronounce a single phoneme.
	
	/ŋ/, as in sing, occurs only at the end of a syllable, never at the beginning.
	
	A restricted phoneme is a phoneme that can only occur in a certain environment.
	 
	In non-rhotic dialects, /r/ can only occur before a vowel, never at the end of a word or before a consonant.
	 
	Minimal pairs are two words that are identical in every way except for two sounds.
	
Explicação:
Here are four golden rules for minimal pairs:
they must have the same number of sounds
they must be identical in every sound except for one
the sound that is different must be in the same position in each word
the words must have different meanings

	 6a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Perhaps the biggest difference between British and American English lies in the pronunciation. In British English, many vowels have different sounds and are usually not nasalized. In which alternative this difference is wrong?
		
	
	The pot is hot - In British English, the "o" in words like pot and hot is pronounced by rounding lips.
	
	In British English, the "a" in words like can't, class and fast is pronounced at the back of the mouth whereas in America English it's pronounced at the front of the mouth.
	 
	Stressed vowels are usually longer in American English.
	 
	In British English the "t" between vowels is pronounced as a soft "d" (/d/), so that writer and rider sound similar. American English speakers usually pronounce the "t" as /t/.
	
	In British English the consonant /r/ is pronounced only before a vowel (for example in red and bedroom). In all other cases the /r/ is silent, sounding more similar to the sound "ah" (for example in car, learn, over). In American English the /r/ is always pronounced wherever it appears in word.
	
Explicação:
In American English the "t" between vowels is pronounced as a soft "d" (/d/), so that writer and rider sound similar. British English speakers usually pronounce the "t" as /t/.
