Read the passages below and answer the questions that follow. For each question there are four responses lettered A to D. Choose the response that best answers the question or completes the sentence.

The passage states: "C'était comme s'il recréait une nouvelle version de ce que l'accusé avait dit. Il y avait dans la salle des murmures de désapprobation et des rires." (It was as if he was recreating a new version of what the accused had said. There were murmurs of disapproval and laughter in the room.)

The noise (murmurs and laughter) was a direct reaction to the interpreter creating a "new version" of the accused's statements, meaning he was not translating accurately.

The correct option is C.

The passage ends with: "Sous la demande des avocats, il a accepté de reporter le procès à une date ultérieure afin de trouver un interprète à la hauteur de la tâche." (At the lawyers' request, he agreed to postpone the trial to a later date to find an interpreter up to the task.)

The trial was postponed to find a competent interpreter.

The correct option is C.

The interpreter, Mr. Sonko, struggled to accurately translate, creating a "new version" of the accused's words, despite speaking French. This incompetence led to murmurs, laughter, and the postponement of the trial. The text emphasizes the need to find "un interprète à la hauteur de la tâche" (an interpreter up to the task).

The core issue highlighted is the interpreter's inability to perform the task accurately, which stems from a lack of mastery in translation between languages. Option C, "Il faut bien maîtriser la langue" (One must master the language well), directly addresses the fundamental skill required for accurate interpretation, which Mr. Sonko lacked in practice.

The correct option is C.
