8. yoshi speaks with a loud volume and at a high pitch. tara speaks quickly and softly. who speaks articulately? a. yoshi b. both are speaking articulately. c. tara d. neither speaks articulately.

I'd go with B (Both are speaking articulately) Because Articulately means its easy to understand. Speaking in a loud voice and at the same time very high pitch, its kinda hard to understand the person when he/she is speaking.

Those are all examples of edible fish. so your answer is numbers 1 and 3.
