Explanation:

A survey method is primarily exemplified as the inductive approach to collect data for a specific research purpose by selecting the individual samples(from the masses) who are anticipated to possess the essential information that would turn beneficial to reach a generalized(according to the surveyors).

As per the given description, Alice's response reflect the drawback or limitations of the survey method to gather data as the people like Alice who are expected to provide the desired information that plays an essential role in determining the conclusion in such a research methodology and when they hide the truth or do not reveal it various reasons it turns into an unauthentic or false judgment or conclusion by the surveyors(being based on specific samples). Thus, option B is the correct answer.

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.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d
