Question
[2]. Passage: Learning in one's mother tongue in the early years is not a rejection of English; it is a foundation for it. A child who understands a concept in the language spoken at home can later attach a new English word to an idea already formed, instead of memorising a sound without meaning. The difficulty arises when schools treat the home language as a problem to be removed quickly, rather than as a bridge to be used carefully. Strong bilingual education therefore keeps both languages visible: the home language for deep understanding, and English for wider access, each strengthening the other. According to the passage, why does attaching an English word later work better?
Option 3 : Because the idea is already formed in the home language
Detailed Solution
सही उत्तर Because the idea is already formed in the home language है।
