Question

how does the author develop the point that having a single official language will make the country less united?
a. by explaining how non - english speakers will not be able to participate in government
b. by describing how difficult it would be to convince all americans to support the idea
c. by illustrating how divided the american people already are concerning language
d. by giving statistics showing how many americans do not speak english

Explanation:

If non - English speakers cannot participate in government (as in option A), it creates a divide. This divide would make the country less united. Option B focuses on convincing people rather than the effect on unity. Option C just shows a pre - existing division but doesn't directly link to the consequence of a single official language. Option D only gives a statistic about non - English speakers without showing the impact on unity.

Answer:

A. by explaining how non - English speakers will not be able to participate in government
