Q30

There are two differences between the notion of comprehended input and that of comprehensible input. (Comprehended Input)

A) Comprehended Input
B)
C)
D)

AI Explanation

A) The mental activity that mediates between input and grammar.
B)
C)
D)

AI Explanation

This describes intake as the cognitive processing that occurs between exposure to language input and the development or modification of grammatical knowledge. It involves the learner’s internal processing of linguistic information.
