To know language is to be able to speak it; even a child who does not yet attend school can speak his or her language. In order to speak a language it is important to listen to it and to read a few pages in it everyday. A child picks up language and learns to talk just as (s)he learns to walk. Walking and talking comes naturally to a child as it grows. In our country, a child may grow up speaking more than one language, if these languages are spoken in the home and in the neighbourhood. we call this multilingualism. A child speaks a language or languages much before (s)he starts going to school. To know a language then is first of all to be able to speak it as easily and naturally as a tree year old child does. Later on the child will learn to read and write in that language. In order to read and write in a language, one has to speak it. But it is possible to speak a language but not able to read or write in it. A baby does not speak until it is nine months old but it understands a few words at six months of age. It has been listening ever since it was born, and even a little before that. So the first strategy in speaking a language is to listen.

 

Multi-lingualism means

A) speaking more than one language B) speaking only one language
C) speaking any language D) speech

Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

A) I prefer B) this book
C) than that one. D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) than that one.

Explanation:

‘prefer’ is a verb that is always followed by the preposition ‘to’ expressing choice or preference over something else. In this case choice of ‘this book’ over the ‘other’ one. ‘Than’ is used for comparing to options, ‘prefer to’ expresses choice. Correct expression will be ‘to that one’.

Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

A) Whom you think B) will be dismissed 
C) first? D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Whom you think

Explanation:

The error is in first part. Replace ‘whom’ with ‘who’. ‘Whom’ is a pronoun which is the objective case of the pronoun ‘who’. But who is the subject in the given sentence, and hence usage of ‘whom’ is incorrect here.
