While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Onomatopoeias are words that imitate the sounds they represent.
- Words that represent the same sound are often written and pronounced very differently from language to language.
- This variation is due in part to differences in how the languages are structured.
- "Korrrr" is a Batak onomatopoeia that represents the sound of snoring.
- Hù lu is a Mandarin Chinese onomatopoeia that represents the sound of snoring.
The student wants to contrast two words that represent the same sound. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
