Which of the following countries struggles with language diversity, making it difficult for the government to communicate effectively and educate its population? i. India ii. Japan iii. Pakistan A. i. only B. i. and iii. only C. ii. and iii. only D. i., ii., and iii.

The correct answer is B. Both India and Pakistan struggle with language diversity, making it difficult for the government to communicate effectively and educate its population.

Explanation:

Both India and Pakistan are multicultural nations, emerged as a result of different peoples of the Indica peninsula united around a common religion (Hinduism in India and Islam in Pakistan). Therefore, given the cultural differences in non-religious aspects that each country has, and the high population of both nations (1,400,000,000 people in India and 215,000,000 in Pakistan, being the first and fifth most populous nations respectively), both countries tend to create of diverse cultural subgroups that maintain a common language and their own idiosyncrasy.

Thus, India has as official languages English and Hindi, but some 15 other languages are spoken within its territory, among which Bengali, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tamil and Urdu, among others, stand out.

In turn, Pakistan has English and Urdu as its official languages, but Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi and Balochi, among others, are also spoken.

Thus, it is clear that both countries do not have a language integrity that allows clear and effective communication among the entire population, which is a clear limitation for education and social stability in both countries.
