According to the passage, complexity of language cannot be taught by parents or at school to children because
Explanation:
The passage states, “The complexity of language, from the scientist’s point of view, is part of our biological birthright; it is not something that parents teach their children or something that must be elaborated in school”. This implies that children are born with an instinctive skill for language and that it cannot be taught. Option 2 is about learning as they grow and not about instinctively knowing language. Option 3 is close, but the question is related to ‘complexity’ of language. The author is silent on whether language is amenable to teaching or not. Option 4 is irrelevant as there is no comparison between the language skills of teachers/ parents and their children. Option 5 contradicts the passage. “Semiotics” is the study of symbols and signs and the passage states that children are not good at semiotics. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
