Question

select the correct answer. mandarin chinese is not spoken widely outside of china, yet it is spoken by more people than any other language. what makes this possible? a. mandarin chinese is used when conducting international business. b. chinas population is the largest in the world. c. this is not possible. d. all languages spoken in the world are found within the sino - tibetan language family.

Explanation:

The large - scale use of Mandarin Chinese is mainly due to China having the largest population in the world. Mandarin is the main language in China, so with a huge population base, more people speak it compared to other languages. International business mainly uses English, not Mandarin. And it is not true that all languages are in the Sino - Tibetan language family. Also, it is indeed possible for Mandarin to be spoken by many people.

Answer:

B. China's population is the largest in the world.
