ASeven
BThree
CFive
DTen
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Seven
1. Halliday studied why children develop language: it serves purposes for them.
2. In 1975 he identified seven functions language has for children in their early years.
3. So the number is seven.
**Why not the others:** Three, five and ten are not the number in Halliday's list.
