Question

why do many u.s. immigrants learn english?

a. english is considered \high-class\

b. english is the most commonly used language

c. english is required for immigration

d. english is the only language on television

Explanation:

To determine why many U.S. immigrants learn English, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The idea of English being "high - class" is a subjective and inaccurate reason for immigrants to learn it. Immigrants are more concerned with practical communication needs rather than such a perception.
• Option B: In the United States, English is the most commonly used language in daily life, including in workplaces, schools, and social interactions. So, immigrants learn English to be able to communicate effectively in these various aspects of life, which is a very practical and valid reason.
• Option C: Immigration to the U.S. does not have a blanket requirement for English proficiency. There are different immigration pathways, and many do not mandate English learning.
• Option D: Television in the U.S. is not only in English. There are channels and programs in other languages, so this statement is false.

Answer:

B. English is the most commonly used language
