Q: Lingua franca-English and the Regional languages do often lock horns whenever a big stride is taken for a sea change in the system:

India with an inadequate infrastructure for learning of English cannot imbibe the language of English as the medium of instruction solely

country of 121 crores has a pluralistic society and allegiance to colloquial vernaculars of the masses is formidable and cannot be placed

Evaluation system and interaction with least arbitrary preferences must be made efficacious for the tapping of real potential

Role of non-verbal reasoning where language has the least role, is to be considered to the maximum

Explanation:

Let’s break down each option so it’s crystal clear—no pretentious fluff, just substance:

- Option 1: *India with an inadequate infrastructure for learning of English cannot imbibe the language of English as the medium of instruction solely*

- This nails the heart of the issue: English can’t be the sole medium because not everyone has access or resources to learn it well. We’re too diverse, and the infrastructure just isn’t there to pull it off for everybody.

- Option 2: *Country of 121 crores has a pluralistic society and allegiance to colloquial vernaculars of the masses is formidable and cannot be placed*

- This gets at the diversity point. People are fiercely loyal to their local languages, and you can’t just swap that out overnight (or ever).

- Option 3: *Evaluation system and interaction with least arbitrary preferences must be made efficacious for tapping real potential*

- Basically, make the system fair and effective. True, but doesn’t address language wars directly; it’s about exams and assessment, not *why* language clashes happen.

- Option 4: *Role of non-verbal reasoning where language has least role is to be considered to the maximum*

- This is suggesting: skip the language, focus on non-verbal stuff. But that’s ducking the actual problem—the language debate itself, not the role of reasoning skills.

The correct answer is Option 1—it points out the real roadblock: lack of English learning infrastructure, so English can’t be the only language of instruction. India’s just not built that way.
