Language is both systematic and arbitrary. true false

The statement "language is both systematic and arbitrary," is true.

Arbitrary' means chance, unmotivated, without purpose - and those who consider languages as arbitrary structures are stating that they are the product of chance, guided by no objective, that the availability of words and the structures of any language are completely purposeless. Furthermore, language is considered to be the fundamental instrument for human communities, the essential medium of communication, the accurate and powerful tool of thought, the basis for scientific and technological progress.

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
