There is no evidence that this nation is threatened by "division among linguistic lines." English is far and away our nation's d
ominant, common language. There is no threat that English will be subsumed as a minor language. S356 has the potential of creating unwarranted division in this country. S356 is touted as a way to bolster the national unity but I am troubled by the divisiveness it will create. What point does the author introduce in this paragraph?
A.
Language already divides people, and having an official language will not change that.
B.
Making English the official language of the United States will make people feel divided.
C.
More unnecessary laws concerning language will create a legal and administrative burden.
D.
The United States will become less divided if there are more national languages.
The point the author introduced in this paragraph is that more unnecessary laws concerning language will create a legal and administrative burden. That is option C.
<h3>What is language?</h3>
Language is either a spoken, written or a sign that can be used to convey message from one person to another. It can serve as an identity of an individual.
From the paragraph, English has been the common language of United States but the additional linguistic laws such as S356 will pose a threat to the nation's unity.
