Question
[4]. Passage: In border towns, a child's first language may change within a single bus ride. Markets mix dialects, schools impose a state language, and families preserve a home tongue in songs and kitchens. This layering is often misread as confusion, but multilingual children regularly switch codes with precision, choosing the variety that fits the listener and the task. Problems arise not from multilingualism itself but from policies that treat one language as the only legitimate medium and brand others as backward. When schools value the home language as a bridge rather than a barrier, children learn the school language faster and retain a sense of belonging that no examination can measure. According to the passage, which statement is correct?
Option 2 : Multilingual children switch codes with precision, choosing the variety that fits the listener and the task.
