1. Bilingual people engage both languages simultaneously: a mechanism known as
Keywords: Bilingual people, simultaneously, mechanism
In paragraph B, the key sentence is: “Research shows that when a bilingual person uses one language, the other is active at the same time”. There is also a word which can be considered the same meaning as “a mechanism” – it is “activation”.:“For bilingual people, this activation is not limited to a single language; auditory input activates corresponding words regardless of the language to which they belong. Some of the most compelling evidence for this phenomenon, called ‘ language co-
activation ’, comes from studying eye movements.” “not limited to a single language” means “engage both languages”, and “called” is the same as “known as”. Therefore, this activation – mechanism is known as “language co-activation”.
At the same time = simultaneously
Activation = mechanism
Answer: language co-activation

1. Bilingual people are more able to handle tasks involving a skill called
Keywords: bilingual people, more able to, handle, skill
Since the questions are in the table with two coloumns “Test” and “Findings”, so questions in the same row will be closely related to each other. Therefore, their answers are definitely somewhere near the other and we still pay attention to paragraph C. In this case, the author mentioned the “findings” in the previous sentence – “bilingual people often perform better on tasks that require conflict management”. “Perfom better on tasks” has the same meaning with “are more able to handle tasks” and “require” is the same as “involving”. The skill mentioned here is “conflict management”.
Perform better = more able to handle
