which two sentences best describe how paragraph 6 develops the passage? a the paragraph gives examples of how latin words allow the anglo - saxons to expand their vocabulary. b the paragraph provides context for how previous developments in the english language in history set the stage for the changes brought by the computer revolution. c the paragraph explains how the angles, saxons, and jutes traveled to england to give the country its name. d the paragraph explains how many words came into the english language through the influence of the normans in 1066. e the paragraph helps explain how many latin words came into the english language through the influence of christianity.

Explanation:

The paragraph details how Latin-derived words entered English via the Church (Middle Ages examples like impecunious, pulchritude) and via French (William the Conqueror's 1066 invasion bringing words like absurd, castle), matching option E. Option A is incorrect because the paragraph does not compare Latinate and Anglo-Saxon words' traits. Option B is incorrect as it does not discuss global English prevalence context. Option C is incorrect because the invasion of Angles/Saxons/Jutes is covered in a different paragraph. Option D is incorrect as the paragraph does not focus on word count from the 1066 invasion.

Answer:

E. The paragraph helps explain how many Latinate words came into the English language through the Catholic Church
