Question
The passage has listed the features of language which aid in :
Options:
A .  the ability to know what others relate to things or events which are no longer present but can be remembered.
B .  the expansion of the knowledge of the environment beyond that shown by the senses.
C .  providing an outlet for 'thoughts' which otherwise are confined in one's mind.
D .  All of these.
Answer: Option D
:
D
Let us look at these lines -
“but by the help of speech we are able to know what others can relate, and to relate what is no longer sensibly present but only remembered.”
“Without language, or some pre-linguistic analogue, our knowledge of the environment is confined to what our own senses have shown us”
“Language has two interconnected merits: first, that it is social and second that it supplies public expression for “thoughts” which would otherwise remain private.”
All these lines indicate that statements (a), (b) and (c) are correct.
So the correct answer is option (d).
