alleryNCERT says reading skill built in one language is:
ATransferable to other languages
BLimited to that language
CHarmful in a second language
DUseful only in one script
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Transferable to other languages
1. Reading is a transferable skill.
2. Improvement in reading in one language results in reading improvement in general.
3. This holds even for languages with different scripts.
**Why not the others:** Reading skill is not locked to one language or script, and it does not harm a second language.
