Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The model is overfitted to English
Why it's wrong here
Overfitting would not cause language-specific failure; the model simply hasn't seen Spanish.
- ✗
The inference threshold is too high
Why it's wrong here
Threshold affects confidence, not language understanding.
- ✗
The model uses the wrong algorithm
Why it's wrong here
Algorithm choice is less likely the cause than data imbalance.
- ✓
The training data is predominantly English
Why this is correct
Models perform poorly on languages unseen in training data.
