Answers

Question number	Answer	Explanation
14	v	Paragraph B states that ‘Esperanto grammar was published in Warsaw in July 1887. The number of speakers grew rapidly.’ The line suggests that this passage discusses Esperanto grammar usage increasing from written to spoken words. Hence, the appropriate heading is “v.”
15	viii	In paragraph C, a line states that ‘it has one simple way of conjugating all of its verbs. Words are often made from many other roots.’ From this earlier line, we can infer that this passage discusses the technicalities of language. Hence, the appropriate heading is “viii.”
16	iii	Paragraph D mentions that ‘language as being harsh and difficult to pronounce, and argue that Esperanto has an artificial feel to it, without the flow of a natural tongue, and that by nature of its artificiality, it is impossible to become emotionally involved with the language.’ As per the line, “because it’s difficult to be involved emotionally” we understand that language is personal Hence, the appropriate heading is “iii.”

17	vi	Paragraph E puts forward this idea that ‘language in which a great body of world literature has appeared in translation: in poetry, novels, literary journals, and, to rebut the accusation that it is not a ‘real’ language.’ From the line mentioned earlier, we can deduce that this passage discusses language being real or not. Hence, the appropriate heading is “vi.”
18	i	According to paragraph F, ‘to empower ordinary people to communicate effectively worldwide on a scale that far exceeds.’ This line from the passage signifies that it discusses language being non-exclusive by universally applying to all people. Hence, the appropriate heading is “i.”
19	ii	Paragraph G conveys that ‘the potential of saving billions of dollars which are now being spent on translators and interpreters.’ The earlier mentioned line signifies that billions are getting spent on translators because there are many languages. Therefore it implies that if there will be fewer languages, the savings of the government will be more. Hence, the appropriate heading is “ii.”
20	C	According to paragraph C, ‘learning subsequent foreign language is easier than learning one’s first, while the use of a grammatically simple and culturally flexible language like Esperanto softens the blows of learning one’s first foreign language.’ The phrase ‘softens the blows of learning’ signifies it is less complicated and flexible to follow, which is why Esperanto, as one’s first foreign language, makes the learning of other foreign languages easy. There is also a reference to how learning Esperanto for a year and then learning French for 3 years resulted in better understanding of French. Hence, the appropriate heading is “C.”
21	D	Paragraph D discusses the ‘inability to express all the necessary philosophical, emotional and psychological concepts.’ The inability to express signifies the lack of depth of expression. Hence, the appropriate heading is “D.”
22	B	The last line of paragraph G signifies that ‘they would be able to devote those huge amounts of money to improving the health of stricken populations throughout the world.’ From this line, we can infer that more money help (aid) would reach those who need it (health stricken population). Hence, the appropriate heading is “B.”
23	TRUE	The last line of paragraph E states that ‘Esperanto does not give advantages to the members of any particular people or culture, but provides an ethos of equality of rights.’ All these factors mentioned in the earlier line imply that Esperanto’s supporters say it gives everyone an equal voice. As the statement agrees with the information, the correct answer is “TRUE.”
24	FALSE	Paragraph A claims that ‘Esperanto is the most widely spoken artificially constructed international language.’ It is the most universally spoken artificial international language. However, it is not the only artificial language. As the statement contradicts the information, the correct answer is “FALSE.”
25	NOT GIVEN	None of the passages mentions if Esperanto can or cannot be learned as part of a self-study course. Hence, the correct answer is “NOT GIVEN.”
26	TRUE	The lines in paragraph E mentions that ‘members of any particular people or culture, but provides an ethos of equality of rights, tolerance and true internationalism.’ If anyone can use it – means it can be used equally in formal and casual situations. As the statement agrees with the information, the correct answer is “TRUE.”
