Question

(1) my mother was born in the baltic country of estonia. (2) when we kids were little, she gave us the choice of whether to learn estonian from her or not. (3) we all told her no, and i, for one, sure regret it now. (4) for one thing, if id learned to speak it, i could go back to my mothers home country and talk to the locals. (5) i might even be able to look up distant family members and speak to them. (6) my estonian grandfather came from a big farm family and had 10 siblings. (7) unfortunately, all i can do is count to 10 and say hello and goodbye, and that makes me sad. (8) i know there are far more useful languages to learn, like spanish or japanese, but they have no connection to me personally, to my family history. (9) i think any kid whos given the opportunity to be bilingual should grab it. (10) its a gift not everyone is so lucky to get. 5 which sentence least supports the main idea? a. sentence 4 b. sentence 6 c. sentence 8 d. sentence 9

Explanation:

The main idea is regret over not learning Estonian and the value of bilingual family language learning. Sentence 6 only provides a fact about the grandfather's family size, which does not connect to the regret, personal benefits of learning Estonian, or the value of bilingualism, making it the least supportive of the main idea.

Answer:

B. sentence 6
