Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam argues that learning foreign languages should not be mandatory in high school and therefore should not be required to gradute.

The best way to refute this claim is by explaining that, nowadays, being bilingual is, more often than ever before, required in job applications.

This helps support the idea that teaching different languages at school improves students' chances of getting a good job after graduating.
