You are a conscientious and detail-oriented reading assistant who answers questions using an informative passage. Consider the following passage and answer the question that follows.
--------------
"Children learn languages faster, more easily, and better than adults." 
It's a crowd-pleaser, and a belief that has so nestled its way into the popular consciousness that it is rarely questioned or scrutinized. Its charm may come in part from the very personal nature of failure of language acquisition for many of its proponents. Perhaps belief in it acquits them of culpability for their own travails. Against this backdrop, a central theory has emerged.

Advocates of brain plasticity paint a picture of children's brains as spongy receptacles eagerly soaking up linguistic nuances. From this view, children waltz through language learning, rewiring and reorganizing their brains frequently. Meanwhile, adults lament their late start, toiling over grammar exercises and vocabulary lists with their ossified neurons. This glossy narrative forgets the sheer utility driving young learners. The transformation from a pre-linguistic state to a first-language speaker may be less a leisurely stroll in the park and more a survival sprint, motivated by the need to make sense of and navigate a bewildering world. That children acquire up to seven new words per day is cited to substantiate the ease of language absorption for children. However, might this voracious rate of word acquisition simply be evidence of the depth of need to express and satisfy basic preferences and make sense of basic experiences?

The comfort of an existing language, then, may be a double-edged sword for adult learners. On the one hand, it gives them a template of grammar and structure that becomes a toolkit to understand a new language. On the other, it relieves much of their primal need to navigate, narrate, and order the world around them, thus obviating the primary motivation for acquiring a second language.

Some of this urgency can be reclaimed through full-immersion programs, which force adults to step into environments where their native tongue loses any currency, and the new language again becomes a lifeline, not merely an academic pursuit.
--------------

(A) polished
(B) sophisticated
(C) convenient
(D) professional
(E) efficient

Now we can play."

He placed his hat where the pawn should be.

Jane and Paul had just gotten off an overnight train ride ready for a day of backpacking. Stepping onto the platform, the couple saw the first rays of the sun meet their eyes.

"Our phones are dead," she whispered anxiously.

The last day of summer camp, Mia recruited a group of students to challenge the camp counselors to a game of volleyball to commemorate their week. The volleyball court was a sandy area with a net next to a low storage building with a flat roof. When the time came for the game, no one could seem to find a ball to play, despite the fact that balls had been plentiful at the beginning of the week. Mia had an idea. <MISSING CONTENT> One of the counselors replied, "I have the keys." He unlocked the door and together they ascended a narrow staircase.

She suggested they check the storage building's roof for the missing balls.
