question 7 of 10
which statement best reflects the impact of forcing colonized people to speak the colonizers language?
a. it unites natives and spreads their cultural history.
b. it allows native children to experience other cultures.
c. it forces native children to leave school to do slave labor.
d. it is the first step in devaluing a colonized countrys entire culture.

Explanation:

Forcing colonized people to speak colonizers' language erodes native - language - based cultural elements like literature, oral traditions, etc., which is a step towards devaluing the entire colonized culture. Option A is incorrect as it doesn't unite natives in terms of their own culture but suppresses it. Option B is wrong because the main impact is not about experiencing other cultures but cultural suppression. Option C has no relation to the language - forcing practice.

Answer:

D. It is the first step in devaluing a colonized country's entire culture.
