A Debate on the English Language

A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States. The US Senate passed two declarations last week. One calls English the nation’s official language and the other says it is the "common and unifying (统一的)" tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.
Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English, many can’t understand why the issue is so controversial (有争议的).
"The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues," says Dick Tucker, a social scientist at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University. " It’s related to a worry about the changing demography (人口统计) of the US. It’s a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence. "
In fact, the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation’s founding. John Adams lobbied (游说) in 1780 for the creation of
A. The immigration issues.
B. The changing demography.
C. The worry about the new languages.
D. The US’s military strength.
