Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:
VOICEBOX
Your voice box (larynx) is a framework of cartilages, muscles and mucous membranes
that forms the entrance to your trachea (windpipe). The larynx is the part at the top of the
windpipe. The epiglottis is a small, movable lid just above the larynx that prevents food and
drinks from entering your windpipe. You cannot swallow and breathe at the same time. Don’t
talk too much when you are eating. Otherwise you may choke when food wrongly falls down
the trachea.
