Question

1. whichever method you choose to learn a new language, keep in mind that practice makes perfect. find a friend who speaks the language so that you can practice hearing it and speaking it. listen to music and watch television programs in the other language. the more you surround yourself with the new language, the faster you will pick it up. before you know it, you will be fully bilingual or even trilingual! the author’s main message in this passage is that — a everyone can benefit from being bi - or trilingual. b not learning another language is a huge mistake. c all schools should offer language classes. d nothing can be achieved without steady practice.

Explanation:

The passage focuses on language learning methods, emphasizing consistent practice (speaking, listening through various media, surrounding oneself with the language) to become bilingual or trilingual. Option A is not the core message as the text doesn't emphasize benefits for everyone, option B is not mentioned, option C is irrelevant to the content. Option D aligns with the key point "practice makes perfect" and the need for consistent exposure/practice.

Answer:

D. nothing can be achieved without steady practice.
