Good Luck!
If people go to a foreign country, they should try to learn at least some of the language of that country because, whilst it is difficult to pick up a good command of a foreign language in a short time, learning just a little of a foreign language helps you to find out more about the country itself, its people’s customs and mannerisms. As well as this, it means that you can function more easily by being able to ask for directions or just by being able to order what you want at a restaurant, which is much less embarrassing than pointing and arm-waving.
Explanation
The correct answer is D.
The passage talks about how when travelling to another country it is good to learn a small amount of the language, not just for general function such as asking for directions, but to learn about the culture, and also be less embarrassing than pointing and arm-waving. Looking at the answer options, A, B and C are points raised in the text, in addition to this, C is untrue and doesn’t follow the conclusion of the passage. Option E, isn’t discussed at all, leaving option D, which is a valid conclusion for the argument of the text.
