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.

If you can keep your head when all about you
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Repetition is a literary device that makes an idea or message clearer by using it continuously.

It can also be used as a rhetorical device; a word, line or sentence repeated to make its significance in the whole text more emphatic.

From the poem above, the poet uses repetition of the word "If" to emphasizes the need for calm.

"If you can wait and not be tired by waiting," from line 5 shows that the author believes there is a reward if we meet a certain requirement.

Why does Sherlock Holmes conclude that the unknown visitor to his rooms is absent-minded? A. The visitor's stick has tooth marks
Valentin [98]

Answer:C. The visitor left his stick behind.

Explanation:

Your question is referring to the excerpt from ''The Hound of the Baskervilles''  by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in which Sherlock is describing his visitor at the beginning of the first chapter.

''Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he stayed up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before.''

After that, Sherlock picks up the stick and read what is written on it and then he is asking Watson about his opinion on it.

He was considered as the absent-minded because he left something with his name and evidence that is showing that he was there. If he was aware, he would not do that. In that way, Sherlock got all information about him.
