Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Latin has made a great influence on English. Almost 70% of English vocabulary is derived from Latin words. For example, the word "duplicate" is derived from the Latin word "duplic" which means double-dealing. The word college is taken from the Latin word 'collegium' which means 'partnership' or 'partner in office'.

Even the differences between 'I' and 'me' is based on the Latin cases. I, in Latin, is based on the nominative case whereas 'me' is based on accusative, dative cases.

So, Latin has a significant influence on the English language. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
