Question
Which of the following would best support the author's contention, as gathered from the passage?
Options:
A .  The existence of language requires knowledge of physics.
B .  Language is socially necessary.
C .  'Thoughts', which remain private, become public through language.
D .  Except the existence of language requiring knowledge of physics, all the other statements support the author's contention.
Answer: Option C
:
C
Let us look at these lines:
“I need hardly say that I am not asserting that the existence of language requires knowledge of physics.”
So option (a) is wrong.
Option (b) is a very tricky option.
Socially is an adverb. It qualifies necessary (which is an adjective).
The meaning of the statement is “The necessity is social in nature and not the language.”
