Question

consider this claim.
parents who speak more than one language should expose their children to multiple languages in early childhood.
which statement provides the best support for this claim?
bilingual students exhibit better problem - solving skills than peers who speak only one language.
many elementary schools offer exposure to foreign languages and cultures in a club format.
the biggest challenge of learning foreign languages is the conjugation of irregular verbs.
foreign - language students may consider careers as interpreters or us diplomats.

Explanation:

To support the claim that multilingual parents should expose children to multiple languages early, we need a statement showing benefits of early multilingual exposure.

• The first option states bilingual students have better problem - solving skills than monolingual peers. This shows a positive outcome (better problem - solving) from being bilingual, which supports the idea that exposing children to multiple languages early (to become bilingual) is beneficial.
• The second option is about school clubs, not about the benefit of early multilingual exposure for children of multilingual parents.
• The third option is about a challenge in language learning, not a benefit of early exposure.
• The fourth option is about career options for language students, not about the benefit of early multilingual exposure for children.

Answer:

A. Bilingual students exhibit better problem - solving skills than peers who speak only one language.
