Directions: The passage below is followed by some questions based on its content. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.
Language, the quintessential hallmark of human civilization, is an ever-evolving entity. Its evolution is not merely a chronicle of words coming in and out of use but a complex interplay of social, cultural, and technological forces. The journey of language through the ages is marked by periods of rapid evolution and long stretches of relative stability.
The advent of the printing press in the 15th century, for instance, standardized written forms of language and slowed the pace of change. However, the digital age has accelerated language evolution once again. The internet, with its unprecedented reach and interactivity, has democratized language, allowing new words and phrases to spread and evolve at a pace never seen before.
Slang, once confined to specific regions or groups, now achieves global recognition through social media and online communities. The influence of technology is evident in the emergence of terms like "selfie" or "hashtag," which have become ingrained in everyday language. Moreover, the rise of emoji as a form of communication reflects the human propensity for visual expression, harking back to the earliest forms of written language in pictographs.
Yet, language evolution is not without its challenges. The rapid adoption of new terms and the concurrent obsolescence of others can lead to generational divides in communication. Furthermore, the dominance of English on the global stage raises concerns about linguistic diversity and the preservation of minority languages.
As we navigate the 21st century, the evolution of language continues to mirror the complexities of human society. It stands as a testament to our adaptability and creativity, but also poses questions about the future of communication and cultural identity.
Q. According to the passage, how has the digital age affected language evolution?
Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 10 - Question 10

The passage explicitly states that the digital age, particularly the internet, has accelerated the evolution of language and democratized its use, allowing new words and phrases to spread quickly (C). It does not suggest that the digital age has slowed down language change (A), led to global standardization (B), or reduced the influence of slang and regional dialects (D).
