Q2 of 9 Page 74

The aliens in this play speak English. Do you think this is their language? What could be the language of the aliens?

The aliens’ speaking English is only imaginative. It is their language in the play because it is written in the author’s language.


They would not have misinterpreted the books had they known English. They could have easily understood that they were some rhymes. They would not have chased the literal meaning of the words and made assumptions based on the representations.


The aliens were from a different planet which makes it more evident that they didn’t know English. They needed some vitamins to decode the text which is a clear indication that they didn’t understand the text in its original form.
