Part 6: The passage below contains 10 mistakes. Find out the mistake and correct it.
In countries where two or more language  LANGUAGES are spoken. Language is frequently political and highly
emotive issue. Although Canada is officially bilingual, the French-speaking province of Quebec introduced the law in
1976 which, among other measures, banned languages rather than French on commercial signs and restricted
admissions to English- speaking schools. In 1998, the supreme court of Canada rules that some sections of this law were
illegal. No sooner had they done so when thousands of French speakers took to the streets in protest. Under the regime
of General Franco, the Basque language, spoken by about 600,000 people in Spain, was forbidden. Such strict was this
ban that people using Basque in public could be imprisoned.
Linguistic suppression still goes on, but on a whole, governments today are more tolerable of their minority
languages. Nowhere has this reverse of attitudes been more pronounced than in Wales. Until the twentieth century,
Welsh was all but illegal, and its user was forbidden in schools and at many places of work. Only a long campaign of
protest and vandalism by Welsh speakers in the 1960s did the British government allow Wales to become an official
language.

People in the United States in the nineteenth century were haunted by the prospect that unprecedented change in
the nation’s economy would bring social chaos. In the years following 1820, after several decades of relative stability,
the economy entered a period of sustained and extremely rapid growth that continued to the end of the nineteenth
century. Accompanying that growth was a structural change that featured increasing economic diversification and a
gradual shift in the nation’s labor force from agriculture to manufacturing and other non-agricultural pursuits.
Although the birth rate continued to decline from its high level of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The
population roughly doubled every generation during the rest of the nineteenth century. As the population grew, its
makeup also changed. Massive waves of immigration brought new ethnic groups into the country. Geographic and
social mobility, downward as well as upward, touched almost everyone. Local studies indicate that nearly three-quarters
of the population - in the North and South, in the emerging cities of the Northeast, and in the restless rural counties of
the West – changed their residence each decade. As a consequence, historian David Donald has written, “Social
atomization affected every segment of society,” and it seemed to many people that “all the recognized values of the
orderly civilization were gradually being eroded.” Rapid industrialization and increased geographic mobility in the
nineteenth century had special implications for women because these tended to magnify social distinctions. As the
roles men and women played in society became more rigidly defined, so did the roles they played in the home. In the
context of extreme competitiveness and dizzying social change, the household lost many of its earlier functions and the
home became to serve as a haven of tranquility and order.
As the size of families decreased, the roles of husband and wife became more clearly differentiated than ever before.
In the middle class especially, men participated in the productive economy while women ruled the home and served as
the custodians of civility and culture. The intimacy of marriage that was common in early periods was rent, and a gulf
that at times seemed unbridgeable was created between husbands and wives.
