Read the following passage and indicate the answer to each of the questions 
Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial, language. It was created more than a century ago by Polish eye doctor 
Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings 
among cultures.
In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as possible. This 
first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce. This did not result in a workable language in that these 
monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain.
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words in his language sound like 
words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language 
can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in o, as in the noun amiko, which means “friend”, and all adjectives 
end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means “pretty”. Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the 
prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means “enemy”, and the word malbela 
therefore means “ugly” in Zamenhof’s language.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen name, Dr. Esperanto, when signing 
the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word means “a person who hopes” in his language. Esperanto clubs 
began popping up throughout Europe, and by 1950, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately700 attendees from 20 different 
countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto 
Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.
Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today, years after it was introduced, it is estimated 
that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it. This may seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when 
compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today’s world. Current advocates would 
like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen.

C. using language to communicate internationally D. a language developed in the last few years
