Question

yun was learning english as an adult. she found that she had trouble with some of the sounds in english because those sounds were not part of her native chinese. the difficulty she was having is called
a phonemes
b morphology
c syntax
d semantics

Explanation:

The question is about language learning and the difficulty with sounds, which relates to phonetics (the study of speech sounds). Phonemes are the smallest units of sound in a language, and difficulty with sounds from a non - native language relates to phonology/phonetics concepts. Option A (phonemes) is about speech sounds, while the other options: B (morphology) is about word structure, C (syntax) about sentence structure, D (semantics) about meaning. So the correct option is about phonemes.

Answer:

A. phonemes
