B. Vocabulary changes when people borrow words from other languages, combine or

In this case, we can consider the letter B to be the correct answer.

"Language Change" by Nicole Mahoney is a text that shows how languages change over time. According to this text, we can reach the following conclusions:

The fifth paragraph of this text shows how the speed of vocabulary modification is different from the speed of modification of the structure of a sentence.

This is because the vocabulary has a strong influence of foreign languages, in addition to having words that are shortened and even replaced over time.

The structure of a sentence changes more slowly, since this structure is very intrinsic to the grammatical rules and the syntax of the language.
