Đáp án A

Giải thích: Câu hỏi này yêu cầu phân biệt nghĩa và cách dùng của những động từ có nghĩa tương tự nhau.

Invent (v) = phát minh ra, là sự sáng tạo có giá trị và đã tạo nên một thành phẩm

Create (v) = sáng tạo, là khả năng tưởng tượng ra nhiều trường hợp, ý kiến mới nhiều nhất có thể, dù có giá trị hay không

Make (v) = làm ra, là sự tạo thành sản phẩm từ các nguyên liệu, công thức đã có sẵn, không mang tính sáng tạo

Discover (v) = phát hiện, là tìm ra, khám phá ra một thứ, một điều vốn đã tồn tại từ trước nhưng chưa được biết đến

Ngôn ngữ là một phát minh có giá trị bậc nhất của loài người. Do đó, sử dụng từ “invent" là chính xác nhất.

Dịch nghĩa: How men fìrst learnt to invent words is unknown: in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. = Làm thế nào con người lần đầu tiên phát minh ra các từ ngữ vẫn chưa được biết rõ; nói cách khác, nguồn gốc của ngôn ngữ là một điều bí ẩn.
