alleryAll successful language learning involves exposure to:
AOne graded textbook
BAdequate language data
CGrammar lessons
DFormal speaking tests
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Adequate language data
1. NCERT quotes Rutherford on what all successful language learning shares.
2. The learner is exposed one way or another to an adequate amount of the data of the language.
3. A single textbook gives too little data.
4. Grammar lessons and tests are not named as this common feature.
**Why not the others:** A single graded textbook gives too little data, and grammar lessons and formal speaking tests are not the shared feature.
