Psychologist: Although studies of young children have revealed important facts about the influence of the environment on language acquisition, it is clear that one cannot attribute such acquisition solely to environmental influences: innate mechanisms also play a role.
So, the most reasonable question that ought to be studied is whether _______.
Which one of the following most logically completes the passage?
A. language acquisition can ever be fully explained.
B. innate mechanisms are a contributing factor in language learning.
C. language acquisition is solely the product of innate mechanisms.
D. parents and peers are the most important influence on a child's learning of a language.
E. innate mechanisms play a more important role in language acquisition than a child's immediate environment.
The correct answer given is E. According to me the author is not trying to compare between the two parameters. He is only trying to say that Language Acquisition is not dependent on one thing alone, but it is dependent on both the things.
According to me the answer should be B. and not E. Could any of the experts please help me in this question.
