Question

select the correct sentence in the passage.
which sentence from the passage states a connection between the idea of a national official language and a violation of human rights?
(6) the right to benefit from their government should not be limited by language barriers. language communication via radio, television, and written material is essential for a basic understanding of an already intimidating political process for many non - native english speakers.
(7) under s.356, in my role as a government official, my hands would be tied when dealing with my own constituents, for many of whom english is a second language. to suggest that i cannot represent those constituents to the best of my ability and will be forced to essentially exclude them from the political process through english - only written communication is preposterous and insulting. the constitution of the united states guarantees freedom of speech. nowhere does it say that it has to be in english. if we enact this bill it will be a limitation of our free society.

Explanation:

Sentence (7) connects the idea of a national official language (implied by English - only communication) with a violation of human rights. It mentions that English - only written communication would force exclusion of constituents (many of whom have English as a second language) from the political process. This exclusion goes against the right to be represented and participate in the political process, which is a human - rights - related aspect. Sentence (6) mainly focuses on the importance of language communication for understanding the political process but does not directly state a connection to a violation of human rights in the context of a national official language.
