#Commas also used to offset appositives from the rest of the sentence. ...

How might dystopian novels inform readers about contemporary society and the adult word?
Elena-2011 [213]
Dystopian novels inform readers by telling them about the past and present problems that society has or is facing at the time. They hide details in their lore or main characters (mostly the bad guys) and they have subtle hints into the deeper meanings of life!

Languages are grouped into families based on __________. A. Age, compexity, and size B. Origin, sound, and words C. History, geo
Stella [2.4K]

There are approximately 6,500 languages spoken on earth today.

Those who study languages - linguists, for ease of comprehension, analysis, study, and modeling have been able to categorize these languages into groups.

The criteria used are:

  • Diachronic Relationship (evolution through time and therefore age)
  • Protolanguage relationship ( that is relatedness to an older parent language from which several others derive, hence Origin) and
  • The Similarity of Alphabets / Characters

French, Spanish Romanian, Tagalog, Vietnamese and Igbo languages share similar alphabetic characters and are therefore grouped under the Latin Script system.

Authoritative sources hold the current number of Language Families to be 147 in number. Of that number, 14 of them are classed as major language families. They are:

  1. Tupian
  2. Dravidian
  3. Austroasiatic
  4. Tai-kadai
  5. Nilo-Saharan
  6. Oto-manguean
  7. Afro-Asiatic
  8. Indo-European
  9. Asutralian
  10. Sino-Tibetan
  11. Trans-New Guinea
  12. Austronesian
  13. Niger-Congo
  14. Nulcear - Trans - New Guinea

Hence we can rightly say that option B is the correct answer.
