a) Foreign - language classes are not effective

b) Differences in the brain

c) Length of exposure

Explanation / Answer

Ans c) Length of exposure

Since Jeanette is a simultaneous bilingual , she must have adapted to the second language much earlier than John and have been practicing it since then . John is a sequencial bilingual so he must have learnt the second language much later than Jeanett due to which he wasn't able to practice it for as long as Jeanett.
