According to Noam Chomsky, language is primarily acquired through:
an innate mental module.
our parents correcting us.
imitating our parents.
trial and error.
I chose B. Is this right?
Sophie or Cindy -- or whoever --
I made a mistake on your last post. Please check my correction there.
Your answer above is correct.

B AND C ARE BOTH INCORRECT! I failed trying both of them. So its probably A
Noam Chomsky's view on language acquisition suggests that it is primarily acquired through an innate mental module, which he refers to as the "language acquisition device" or LAD. This innate module allows children to learn language effortlessly and instinctively. According to Chomsky, parents correcting us or imitating our parents plays a minimal role in language acquisition. Trial and error is also not considered a significant factor in language learning according to Chomsky.
So, your choice of B, which states that language is acquired through parents correcting us, is not in line with Chomsky's theory.
