Question 6 • Common Core ELA 8 - ELA3008 B-IC

Which evidence best supports the claim that living in a foreign country is the smartest way to learn a new language?

Answer
A
I really hope to spend a semester in Paris because it is the perfect place to see cultural landmarks and improve my French.
B
A television advertisement encourages students to purchase language study software and guarantees a forty-five percent improvement in six weeks.
C
My father spent several years in Peru and learned to speak Spanish so fluently that people thought he was a native Peruvian.
D
Language researchers found that students who lived in a foreign country learned the new language sixty-five percent faster than students learning at home.

Explanation

The claim compares living in a foreign country with learning at home, so the strongest evidence directly compares those two groups. Researchers found that students living abroad learned the language 65 percent faster than students learning at home. This measured comparison supports the claim more strongly than a personal example or an advertisement.
