Phonetic patterns allow for intelligibility tolerance because
A
they are involved and difficult to avoid
B
they involve muscular patterns which later crystalize
C
they give rise to the phenomenon of accent which is easy to tolerate
D
transference is both difficult to avoid and easy to tolerate
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage indicates that phonetic patterns involve muscular movements, making them harder to correct or eliminate. However, because they don't significantly impair intelligibility, there is a tolerance for these transferred patterns from one's native language, making them both difficult to avoid and easy to tolerate.
