The children, who know no English and haven’t received any formal school education, quickly begin playing with the machine and, within days, they’re learning English, browsing the internet and teaching each other what they discover. 

The passage best supports the statement that: 

 

  • A.No other form of communication in the natural world transfers so much information in such a short period of time. 
  • B.There is no genetic code that leads a child to speak English or Spanish or Japanese. 
  • C.The proliferation of mobile devices and social networks is leading to entirely new ways of learning.
  • D.It is very common for teachers in early childhood classrooms to have children with speech and language delays. 

Answer: C

Correct answer: The proliferation of mobile devices and social networks is leading to entirely new ways of learning.

The passage describes children with no English and no formal schooling who begin playing with a machine and within days are learning English, browsing the internet and teaching one another. That is learning happening through a device and through each other rather than through a school, which is the claim this option makes. The other options concern language acquisition and speech delay, which the passage does not touch.
