C) The temporary stoppage of air by the closed (or nearly closed) vocal folds that builds
up subglottal air pressure
D) The decrease in pressure of the gas or fluid caused by the increased speed of air passing
through a constriction - ANSWER D) The decrease in pressure of the gas or fluid caused by the
increased speed of air passing through a constriction.
The Bernoulli effect refers to qualitative behavior of fluids and states that lowering the area
of fluid flow causes the increase in fluid flow velocity and decrease in pressure:
A2<A1→v2>v1 and P2<P1.
