Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Oversimplification of target language

There are several causes and problems exist which are responsible for the failure of the second or target language learning. Causes of failure in learning a second language are:

• Oversimplification to such an extent that it ultimately losses its importance

• Loose education system

• Overemphasis on grammar

• Lack of language laboratory

• Less use of Audio Visual Aids

• Use of old method of teaching

Also note:

Home assignment	It refers to a piece of task assigned to students as a part of a study to do at home to make students revised that particular topic.
Diagnostic test	It refers to the test which helps the teacher to know the gaps in learner's understanding and to provide the necessary help and guidance.
Reading strategy	It refers to the well-planned reading approach to comprehend and perceive the meaning of the text effectively.

Hence, we conclude that oversimplification of target language causes failure in learning a second language
