Psychologist: Phonemic awareness, or the knowledge that spoken language can be broken into component sounds, is essential for learning to read an alphabetic language. But one also needs to learn how sounds are symbolically represented by means of letters; otherwise, phonemic awareness will not translate into the ability to read an alphabetic language. Yet many children who are taught by the whole-language method, which emphasizes the ways words sound, learn to read alphabetic languages. Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the psychologist's statements? ['The whole-language method invariably succeeds in teaching awareness of how spoken language can be broken into component sounds.', 'Some children who are taught by the whole-language method are not prevented from learning how sounds are represented by means of letters.', 'The whole-language method succeeds in teaching many children how to represent sounds symbolically by means of letters.', 'When the whole-language method succeeds in teaching someone how to represent sounds by means of letters, that person acquires the ability to read an alphabetic language.']
