alleryThe grammar-translation method grew out of the teaching of:
AHindi and Urdu
BFrench and German
CArabic and Persian
DLatin and Greek
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Latin and Greek
1. The method is derived from the classical or traditional method of teaching Ancient Greek and Latin.
2. Latin was later studied as a purely academic subject.
3. Teachers then used the same translation approach for modern languages.
4. So the original languages were Latin and Greek.
**Why not the others:** Hindi, Urdu, French, German, Arabic and Persian are not the languages from which the method came.
