Question 4 • TX-Communication Applications

Which statement best supports the claim that students should learn a second language, starting in elementary school?

Answer
A
Learning a new language helps you appreciate other cultures.
B
The ability to easily learn a language begins to decline at age 14.
C
People who are fluent in more than one language are more likely to be hired for a job.
D
Students who study more than one language in school are more likely to do better in school.

Explanation

The claim recommends starting in elementary school, so the strongest support should explain why learning earlier matters. Choice B says the ability to learn a language easily begins to decline at age 14, which supports starting before then. The other choices describe general benefits of learning another language but do not specifically support beginning in elementary school.
