Correct Answer - Option 1 : a skill like cycling

Language is a patterned system of arbitrary sound signals, characterized by structure dependence, creativity, displacement, duality, and cultural transmission. Importance of Language Learning:

• With the help of language, we share our ideas, communicate with others, and gain knowledge.
• Language is the leading vehicle by which we know about other people's thoughts, and the two must be intimately related.
• It's important as other skills like cycling, driving or any professional skills.
• Without language learning, it will be complicated to learn subjects like physics, history, and philosophy.

 

Hence, from the above explanation, it can be concluded that language learning is like learning a skill like cycling.
