TEXT I
“Fundamental breakthroughs in the neurosciences, combined with technical innovations for measuring brain activity, are shedding new light on the neural basis of second language (L2) processing, and on its relationship to native language processing (L1). The long-held assumption that L1 and L2 are necessarily represented in different brain regions in bilinguals has not been confirmed. On the contrary, the available evidence indicates that L1 and L2 are processed by the same neural devices. The neural differences in L1 and L2 representations are only related to the specific computational demands, which vary according to the age of acquisition, the degree of mastery and the level of exposure to each language. Finally, the acquisition of L2 could be considered as a dynamic process, requiring additional neural resources in specific circumstances.”

Considering the extract: “Finally, the acquisition
of L2 could be considered as a dynamic
process, requiring additional neural resources
in specific circumstances ” it is CORRECT to
infer that the acquisition of L2 in the text:
✂️ a) It involves active and continuous change or
activity. ✂️ b) It is less important than L1 acquisition. ✂️ c) It is solely dependent on the age of acquisition. ✂️ d) It requires less effort over time. ✂️ e) It is unchanging and stable over time.
