In the 11th question, we are asked to choose a sentence that identifies specific community-driven efforts to address the issue of language endangerment.
Although the sentence given in the answer has specific efforts:
“Both leaders have dedicated themselves to organizing language classes for children, creating digital archives, and even developing mobile apps to teach endangered languages in accessible ways.”
Doesn’t it ignore the community driven aspect?
Shouldn’t the answer be the following sentence - which mentions community driven effort?
“Despite facing a lack of funding and limited government interest, Huerta and Moana persisted, relying on community volunteers and innovative teaching methods.”
Good question. The prompt doesn’t define what “community-driven” means, so we have to go by what’s actually stated. The second sentence uses the word “community,” but it’s vague and doesn’t give any specific efforts—it just says volunteers engaged with others. That’s not enough.
The first sentence doesn’t say “community,” but it lists specific efforts like organizing classes and building mobile apps. That directly answers the question, which asks for specific community-driven efforts. Mentioning the word “community” doesn’t automatically make something a better fit—the actual content matters more.
Right, that makes sense. For me, both sentences are equally right and wrong:
The first has the specific details, but ignores the community part
And second one, has community but no specific details.
Why is the first one more correct? Do we consider the leaders’ efforts to organize classes as community driven? If yes, why? The leaders are just individuals right, these are not technically community efforts.
