Part B: Which quote from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
"Almost all of the grandparent generation throughout Indian country have been
to these schools, and it had a very deep impact." (Paragraph 13)
"At the time of World War II, most of Indian country had a 100 percent fluency
rate in tribal languages." (Paragraph 13)
"So you are likely - you know, if you have any listeners who are in their 20s 30s
and 40s, you know, they are likely to see 163 tribal languages in the United
States go extinct in their lifetimes. (Paragraph 14)
D. there are really only four that have large, vibrant populations of speakers
where, you know, we're sure that they'll be here 100 years from now. (Paragraph
14)
How does the education of Native Americans today compare to their education during the
late 19th century and 20th century?

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d
