Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pattern of language extinction generally corresponds with less developed countries or third world countries where poverty, inequality, and lack of resources lead to the decline or disappearance of languages. This is due to factors such as migration, urbanization, globalization, and the imposition of dominant languages. Developed countries, on the other hand, tend to have more resources, education, and preservation efforts, which can help to maintain the diversity of languages. Therefore, choice B is the best answer. The other options, such as cold polar regions or mountainous areas, do not have a significant correlation with language extinction.
