How many words are usually used by an English speaking person ?
Answer: B
An English speaking person usually uses 5,000 words in everyday conversation.
The passage says, 'We normally have a vocabulary of about ten thousand words of which only five thousand are used in everyday conversation.' The question asks how many are usually used, so the figure is five thousand.
Ten thousand is the size of the ordinary vocabulary, fifteen thousand is the upper end of a modern novelist's vocabulary, and 3,000 is the number of languages spoken today.
