For number 1. i believe it is B, for number 2. A and number 3. D

The correct answers are:

1) According to research, the sentence that will describe Sanraj’s experience of learning a second language in college is the one that reads “Learning a second language in college will be easier than learning it in childhood” (option letter A). In the chapter “How do we Learn Grammar?” of his book “English in Use” (1991), Quirk argues that we gain knowledge of grammar even before going to school. Moreover, he mentions that a child achieves insights even without explicit teaching, for instance, insights of analogy, concord, aspect, among others. This is why we can say that it will be easier to learn a second language in childhood, as all this insights enhance the explicit learning we are given.

2) The correct sentence that accurately describes the relationship between the theory of universal grammar and acquisition of a second language is the one in option letter B (The theory of universal grammar supports language acquisition because all languages share a similar structure). Although languages differ in many ways, they are all processed by the brain in the same way. In other words, languages share certain fundamental design features and structural characteristics that enable them to work the way they do.

3) The sentence that is an example of the use of morphemes is the one in option letter C (Adding an "e" at the end of "hop" makes "hope"). By definition, morphemes are the smallest meaningful constituents of a linguistic expression. For instance, if the word “reads” is segmented into individually meaningful parts “read” + “s”, those parts are called morphemes. In the case of the example of this correct answer, the morpheme “e” has been attached to the morpheme “hop” and together they make up the word “hope”.
