PASSAGE
A Mandarin 1 student is listening to two audio recordings as part of a class activity. In Recording 1, the speaker pronounces 'zh,' 'ch,' and 'sh' as retroflex consonants (tongue curled back). In Recording 2, the speaker pronounces those same characters with flat-tongue consonants, so 'zh' sounds like 'z,' 'ch' sounds like 'c,' and 'sh' sounds like 's.'
Based on this phonological difference, which pairing of regional accents most accurately matches Recording 1 and Recording 2?
