CAN YOU PLS PROVIDE WITH A EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE ANSWER TO Q2 IS A AND NOT C ?
This is one of the tougher ones, partly because the choices are all long and dense and remarkably similar, and partly just because it’s a logic question
(“support the view that”). The key is recognizing that the view we need to support—
“that language has an essential correspondence to... things”—is the first of the two theories described
(lines 18-21) in
Paragraph 2. In this view, language is fixed and precise. This means that you need to search for a choice indicating language to be
“solid and reliable,” and you don’t have to search for long, because
(A) does the job. That two independently-developed languages categorize objects in the very same way supports the notion that there’s something unchanging and definite about the relationship between words and objects; even two totally independent languages both pick up on the same things.
Answer option
(C) connects the linguistic categories within one unique language and leaves out its correspondence with other languages.
