Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) ki long kiba thikna bad la thoh ha ka ktien ba ngi ïakren ïakhana (natural language) (authentic, in the language we actually speak)

  2. They show language as people actually use it.
  3. Such authentic, natural language gives children rich input for learning.
