which piece of information, gathered from research, best supports this thesis statement?

jefferson's virginia home, known as monticello, is considered to be an architectural masterpiece, and it was designed and built by jefferson himself.

president thomas jefferson was a champion of the nation's westward expansion and was responsible for sending the lewis and clark expedition to the pacific ocean in the early years of the 19th century.

the jefferson memorial is an adaptation of neoclassical architecture and includes a circular colonnaded structure, which jefferson introduced to america.

as the author of the declaration of independence, jefferson proclaimed america's commitment to the idea that all people are created equal and have the "unalienable rights" to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

explanation:

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.
