Answer:

Animals cannot acquire any of the four characteristics of language because of physical and mental limitations.

Explanation:

In order to call something a language, there are four characteristics, language has to be "symbolic, semantic, generative, and structured", symbolic means that it has to represent something else, since animals do not have the cognitive capacity to make sounds that represent something else, their sounds are not called language.

Mariulka [41]

Answer: misused pronoun: me. Correct pronoun: I.

Explanation: Pronouns have three possible cases: subjective, possessive and objective. The subjective case is used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence (they are: I, you, she/he/it, they, we). The objective case is used when the pronoun acts as an object in the sentence (they are: me, her, them, us, etc). The possessive case is used to indicate ownership (they are mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs). In the given sentence, the pronoun is in the subject of the sentence, therefore it should be in the subjective case: After school, Bob and I cleaned up their yard.
