D. None of the above

Spoken language was created <em>even before time</em>.

Remember, technically GOD exists outside the time realm, and before time was even there, GOD was. In a sense, we can see inside the book of Genesis, that GOD essentially spoke, and it was there.

For example, "God said, Let there be light; and there was light"

Inside this semi-quote, we see that God "said". This implies that there was language even before the creation of the world.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, if we put it into human context, language started on the creation of man, the first one being Adam. Note that he was given the right to "name all the creatures.." This means that language was already existent by then for him to "name" the other living things.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, it brings us to the point where multiple languages were created.

During the "Building of the tower of Babel", GOD saw that the people were becoming more prideful. This led to the event of the building of the tower of Babel, which was a tower that essentially would rise to the heavens. However, GOD caused many languages to develop, so that people could not communicate properly. Those who spake the same language gathered together, and each group went their separate ways.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on these events, we can say that D. None of the above is your best answer

Hey there!

When Adam and Eve were on the Earth, they probably spoke one language. This language is lost and unknown. It is rumored to have been called "Adamic", but none of this can be confirmed.

Many people believe that the first language was removed and all of the new languages were made during the Tower of Babel. This was when a large group of people wanted to build a tower that would reach Heaven. They began to build a grand tower. But then, God cursed them to all speak different languages. Nobody could communicate with each other. Then again, this does not relate to when spoken LANGUAGE developed.

The tower was being built around 2240 B.C.m

M.Y.A. is stands for a Million Years Ago. The Tower of Babel was about 4,000 years ago. But then again, there were people on the Earth before Adam and Eve, it was just all of the cavemen and Ice Age men. Adam and Eve have been speculated to have come to Earth during about 5,000 B.C.

People speculate that the prehistoric humans began to speak about 150,000 years ago.

There are many theories as to how language formed. Mammals came into existence during the Cenozoic era, which stretches from 66 million years ago to present day.  Therefore, all humans began to speak sometime during this era, but it cannot have been during the Ice Age, due to previous information.

I would say that the origin of language could be determined, but then again, that is where science and religion clash and then we're back to square one.  But then again, we could make somewhat of an estimate. I would have to go with D. None of the Above because we could come up with some sort of estimate as to when languages began to be spoken, but I cannot be 100% sure.

I hope this helps! Have a great day! :)

Immigrants from China made up a large portion of the labor force during the California gold Rush for what two reasons
Mice21 [21]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can comment on the following.

Immigrants from China made up a large portion of the labor force during the California gold Rush for the following two reasons:

1) They arrived at the port of San Francisco, California, from China. 2) They worked as miners in the California gold mines and were paid low salaries, working under extremely unhealthy and risky conditions.

Chinese immigrants were treated badly because they were foreigners in a foreign land. White miners were jealous of the Chinese miners because Chinese miners worked very hard and were more efficient.

Years later, in the 1860s, and with the passing of the Pacific Railroad Act, Chinese people worked in the Transcontinental Railroad.
