1 If people go to a foreign country, they should try to learn at least some of the language of that country because, whilst it is difficult to pick up a good command of a foreign language in a short time, learning just a little of a foreign language helps you to find out more about the country itself, its people's customs and mannerisms As well as this, it means that you can function more easily

by being able to ask for directions or just by being able to order what you want at a restaurant, which is much less embarrassing than pointing and arm-waving

Which one of the following is an expression of the main conclusion of the above argument?

A It is easier to function in a country if you have learnt the language of that country

B You will find out more about a country if you learn the language of that country

C It is difficult to learn a foreign language in a short time

D When people visit a foreign country they should try to learn some of the language

E Speaking a foreign language is easier than having to use sign language
