Question

b. by providing evidence that shows how multilingual organizations are more successful than monolingual ones

c. by explaining how an english - only requirement would be less efficient and would limit cultural expression

d. by emphasizing the importance of native american representation in government organizations

Explanation:

The question is about how an author justifies a claim regarding the harm of making English an official language to Native American groups. Option C directly addresses the negative impacts (less efficiency, limited cultural expression) that an English - only requirement (which is related to making English official) would have. Option A is about historical efforts for history protection, not directly about the language claim. Option B is about multilingual vs monolingual organizations' success, not the harm to Native Americans. Option D is about representation, not the language - related harm.

Answer:

C. by explaining how an English - only requirement would be less efficient and would limit cultural expression
