The correct answer is C. Blends

Explanation:

A consonant is any letter of the alphabet except by the vowels (a,e, i,o,u sounds) or semivowels (w, y), this means consonants include letters such as l, p, c, d, b, r, k, m or f. Consonants are also classified as voiced if the vocal cords vibrate when they are pronounced or voiceless if there is no vibration. Additionally, consonants can be combined, in this way, if two or even three voiced consonants are combined you create a "Blend", but if the consonants are voiceless then it is a "Diagraph". Examples of Blends include Bl, Fl, Cr, Dr, Pr and examples of Diagraphs are st, sh, wh. Thus, Bl, Cl, Br, and Cr are examples of a combination of voiced consonants or blends.

what are the sentences?

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
