Which sequence of language reforms is in the correct order?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Katharevousa promoted in the 1800s, Demotic made official in 1976, monotonic spelling adopted in 1982
- Step 1: Place each reform by its date: Katharevousa took shape after independence, in the nineteenth century. Step 2. Demotic became the official language of state and education in 1976, and the simplified monotonic spelling came in 1982. Answer: Katharevousa promoted in the 1800s. Why not the others: The other sequences swap the dates or the order of the reforms.
