Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct combination: AD
Explanation:
Statement A — "Learning a second language takes little time and effort": Myth. Learning a language typically requires sustained time, practice, and exposure.
Statement B — "All bilinguals easily maintain both languages": Incorrect to label True. Maintenance depends on use and exposure; many bilinguals have unequal proficiency across their languages.
Statement C — "Learning a second language takes little time and effort" labeled True: Incorrect. This repeats the myth in A but with the wrong truth value.
Statement D — "All bilinguals easily maintain both languages": Myth. It is a misconception that bilingualism ensures automatic equal maintenance of both languages.
Therefore the correct pair is the two statements that are accurately labeled as myths: the time/effort statement (A) and the language-maintenance statement (D).
