1. We’re not talking about translating from one language to another.
2. CORRECT. This matches our prephrase.
3. The passages are about languages affecting how their speakers think about the world. This answer choice is the opposite: it says that differences in how speakers think about the world causes the differences in their languages.
4. This isn’t the concern of the passages.
5. Number and gender are the areas that the passages focus on, but we don’t know if there are other areas where languages can influence thought.
