Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The research on bilingualism in the text suggests that bilingualism is common worldwide, with approximately two-thirds of children being raised speaking two or more languages. Therefore, if Dr. Arnott's findings are consistent with this research, he is likely to discover the same thing. The other options (A, C, and D) are not consistent with the research in the text and are therefore unlikely to be the correct answer.
