One difference between the pharynx and the larynx is that

a. the pharynx contains the vocal cords, the larynx does not.
b. the pharynx is above the epiglottis and the larynx is below it.
c. the pharynx directly connects to the bronchi, the larynx is part of the trachea.
d. only air passes through the pharynx, but both air and food pass through the larynx.

Hi Gary!

The answer would most likely be

B:the pharynx is above the epiglottis and the larynx is below it.

It can't be A because the larynx is what contains the vocal cords.

It can't be C either because the pharynx doesn't directly connect to the bronchi. 

It can't also be D because air and food pass through the pharynx. Food does not pass through the larynx. 

Below is a diagram showing where the pharynx and larynx is located. You'll see how the pharynx is above the larynx, with the epiglottis in between making B the correct answer.

Hope this helped you understand more! Have a wonderful day! :D

Ithink your answer will be c hope that’s you
