Answer 2

Explanation:

In British R.P. , there are two semi-vowels i.e. /j/ and /w/. /w/ is bilabial and /j/ is palatal. You can feel the glide when you speak the words like quit or twenty. The glide is more obvious when semi-vowel occurs between a consonant and a vowel. You can feel the glide in these two words, twenty and quit.
