Question

why is it helpful for adults in south texas to speak both english and spanish? (1 point) it is required by law. it makes it easier to find a job. bilingual people make more money. it makes it easier for parents to help their kids with their homework.

Explanation:

In South Texas, there is a significant Spanish - speaking population (due to proximity to Mexico and cultural ties). Many jobs in the area may involve interacting with Spanish - speaking clients, customers, or colleagues. So, being able to speak both English and Spanish makes it easier to find a job as it broadens the range of job opportunities one can pursue, such as in customer service, healthcare, education, and business sectors that serve the bilingual community. Option A is incorrect as there's no broad law requiring adults to be bilingual. Option C is not a typical or main reason for adults to be bilingual (the focus for adults is more on professional or practical daily interaction benefits rather than just earning more money in a general sense, and it's not a primary driving factor). Option D is more relevant for parents helping their kids, but the question is about adults, and the job - related benefit is more impactful for adults' professional lives.

Answer:

It makes it easier to find a job.
