Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Each has its own codified standard, spelling and vocabulary, although they are closely related
- Step 1: A language is described by its standard, its history and its use. Step 2. Slovak was codified in the 1840s and has its own grammar, spelling and words. Czech has a different standard. Answer: separate standards. Why not the others: Both use the Latin alphabet, both are West Slavic, and there is no common standard.
