Question 3 • Literacy and Comprehension B (WHS)
“While I think learning a new language is one of the most exciting things about going abroad, I know many people would appreciate the comfort of easy communication while they are trying to adapt to a new culture in a place far from home. If this describes your personality, don’t worry! Two of the most popular study abroad destinations are Great Britain and Australia.” In the passage, the author is arguing __________________.
Answer
A
that learning a language is the only reason to participate in study abroad programs
B
that even students who do not speak a foreign language can study abroad
C
that it is too difficult to learn a language while participating in a study abroad program
D
all of the above
Explanation
The author acknowledges that some students may prefer easy communication while adjusting to a new culture. The passage then points out that Great Britain and Australia are popular study abroad destinations, where students can communicate in English. So the author is arguing that students who do not speak a foreign language can still study abroad. The passage does not say language learning is the only reason to go abroad or that learning a language is too difficult.
