Answer: Yes.
1. Bilingual people are better than monolingual people at guessing correctly what words are before they are finished.
Keywords: bilingual, monolingual, guess correctly, words, before they are finished.
When it comes to guessing words before they are finished, we have to pay attention to paragraph B. “Long before the word is finished, the brain’s language system begins to guess what that word might be.[…]. For bilingual people, this activation is not limited to a single language”. This is the explanation for the activation called “language co-activation”. There is no comparison between bilingual and monolingual people in guessing words before they are finished. The answer is Not given.
Answer: Not given.
1. Bilingual people consistently name images faster than monolingual people.
Keywords: bilingual, monolingual, name, images, faster
In the second sentence of paragraph C, the author gave an example of the disadvantages of being bilingual – “For instance, knowing more than one language can cause speakers to name pictures more slowly.” “Knowing more than one language” means “bilingual” and “pictures” is the same as “images”. Therefore, bilingual people name images more slowly than monolingual people. The answer is No.
Answer: No.
1. Bilingual people’s brains process single sounds more efficiently than monolingual people in all situations.
Keywords: bilingual people’s brains, process, single sounds, more efficiently, all situations.
In paragraph D, the writer mentioned “When monolingual and bilingual adolescents listen to simple speech sounds without any intervening background noise, they show highly similar brain stem responses”. Hence, there is at least one situation,when there is no intervening background noise, in which the brain processing of these 2 kinds of people is “highly similar”. The above statement is only right “in the presence of background noise”, not “all situations”. Therefore, the answer is No.
