1. Correct this description of the glottal cycle:

First, the vocal folds are abducted by the laryngeal muscles. The vocal folds are temporarily held shut by air pressure in the oral cavity. Next, air pressure builds in the trachea beneath the vocal folds due to lung compression. When air pressure beneath the vocal folds builds sufficiently, the vocal folds are pushed open. After the release of air pressure, elastic forces try to return the vocal folds to their original (adducted) state. However, the moving airstream past the vocal folds creates an increase in air pressure that slows the return of the vocal folds to the closed position (the Bernoulli effect), creating modal or flow voicing.
