Question

Which of the following statements about language is true? A. Languages can diverge and converge. B. Languages can diverge but not converge. C. Languages can converge but not diverge. D. Languages can change, but they do not converge or diverge.

Answer 1

I believe the answer would be A. Languages can diverge and converge.

Answer 2

Correct answer:

A. Languages can diverge and converge.

In linguistics the divergence is when people of the same language expand and form subcommunities and over time the language develops different dialects and grammatical rules. The convergence of the language makes reference when two different languages are mixed. Which means that both languages influence each other and borrow words.
