AMostly the mother tongue
BOnly the target language
CTranslation in every class
DBoth languages equally
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Only the target language
1. The direct method refrains from using the learners' native language.
2. It uses only the target language in class.
3. So translation and the mother tongue are avoided.
**Why not the others:** The mother tongue, translation and equal use of both languages are exactly what the direct method avoids.
