Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.

There are over 7,000 languages spoken around the world today, creating a rich carpet of human culture. While some languages like English, Mandarin, and Spanish are spoken by billions, others are kept alive by only a small number of people in isolated communities. Each language carries the unique history and traditions of the people who speak it.

Language is much more than just a set of words; it shapes how we perceive the world. For instance, certain languages have specific words for concepts that do not exist in others. This cultural depth means that when a language dies out, a unique way of understanding the human experience is lost forever. Currently, experts estimate that nearly half of the world's languages are at risk of disappearing by the end of the century.

The dominance of global languages is often driven by technology and international trade. English, in particular, has become the "lingua franca" of the digital age, connecting people from different backgrounds through the internet and social media. However, many young people are now using these same digital tools to preserve their native tongues by creating online dictionaries and educational videos.

In conclusion, while the world is becoming more connected through common languages, preserving linguistic diversity remains essential. Protecting smaller languages ensures that the world remains a culturally diverse and intellectually vibrant place.

In paragraph 3, the term "lingua franca" most likely refers to _____.

  • a language spoken only within a specific cultural group

  • They are gradually being merged with neighbouring languages to survive.

  • They have already been documented by linguists before they are lost.
