Answer: 2) The symbols stand for a single sound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Phoenician alphabets are different from Cuneiform as in Phoenician alphabets the symbols stand for single sound. Different sounds were paired to make words. The cuneiform was photographic while the Phoenician script had 22 alphabets. It was easier to lean compared to Cuneiform in which a lot of Pictographs were needed to master the language.
