Read the following passage and then answer the questions that follow: In recent years, the use of Kiswahili in various fields has increased significantly. The government has been encouraging the use of Kiswahili in education, courts, broadcasting, and even politics. Many leaders now use Kiswahili in their speeches, a fact that places the language in a position of respect and authority. Similarly, higher education institutions have started teaching some courses in Kiswahili, a situation that provides opportunities for many students to understand what is taught well. However, despite these successes, there are still several challenges. Some people think that Kiswahili is a language of uneducated people and therefore shun it. Furthermore, some literature and academic terminology have not yet been fully translated into Kiswahili, a situation that gives teachers and professionals extra work. Despite this, the efforts of Kiswahili experts to develop academic terminology and literature should be praised. In general, it is clear that Kiswahili has an important role in national development, but its success will depend on collective efforts from the government, experts, and the community as a whole. (a) Explain three themes found in the passage. (b) Mention two challenges hindering the development of Kiswahili as mentioned. (c) Explain any importance of Kiswahili for national development as it appeared.
