English uses..............for yes/no questions.
Answer: A
English uses the rising tone for yes/no questions.
In English intonation, questions that can be answered yes or no, such as 'Are you coming?', are normally spoken with a rising tone, which signals that the speaker expects the listener to respond.
The falling tone is used for statements, commands and wh-questions ('Where are you going?'). The fall-rise expresses reservation or implication, as in 'Well, I might'. Falsetto is a voice quality, not an intonation pattern.
