Candidates preparing for a synthesis essay are provided with two sources regarding the preservation of indigenous languages. The print article argues that digital globalization is the primary driver of language extinction. In the accompanying audio interview, a Zapotec linguist states: 'While we face systemic challenges, social media platforms have unexpectedly become vibrant spaces where our youth actively create content, allowing the language to evolve and reach broader audiences.' Which of the following sentences most effectively integrates the evidence from the auditory source to counter the print article's claim?
- While the print article argues that digital globalization threatens indigenous languages, the linguist in the audio interview provides a counter-perspective by illustrating how youth use these exact digital platforms for linguistic revitalization.Cevap
- BThe print article discusses the negative impacts of globalization on indigenous languages, and additionally, the audio interview features a Zapotec linguist talking about social media content.
- CThe audio interview confirms the print article's claim by demonstrating that indigenous youth are spending all their time on digital platforms instead of speaking their traditional languages.
- DDigital globalization is clearly the main threat to indigenous languages today, but fortunately, social media platforms have become vibrant spaces where the language can naturally evolve.
Cevap
The option that contrasts the print article's warning with the linguist's counter-perspective on digital platforms.
The correct answer explicitly references both the print and audio sources, accurately interprets the audio's main point about language revitalization, and uses a comparative structure ('While... provides a counter-perspective') to show how the auditory evidence directly responds to the print article's claim.

3
A strong synthesis sentence must explicitly name the sources, accurately reflect their viewpoints, and connect them using logical transitional phrases like 'however' or 'while'.

You can solve this by elimination: cross out options that misrepresent the audio, options that forget to mention the sources by name, and options that just create a list without comparing.
