Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Varies but answers should touch upon the widespread teaching of English in place today, even in countries where large numbers speak another language. It should also touch on India's multilingual status that has capitalized on its colonial English in today's world market. Some comment on the rising economic influence of China and whether that will translate to a cultural hegemony is warranted.
