What language ______?

Solution

The sentence is asking a question and so, the answer must be in interrogative form. Thus, the main verb must have an auxiliary verb that changes it into a question. Also, there should be a noun or pronoun that must become the subject.
Option A is correct. The auxiliary 'do' correctly changes the phrase to interrogative. 'you' provides the subject of the sentence. 'speak' is the main verb. Thus, it meets the required conditions.
Option B is incorrect. It is not in interrogative form as the auxiliary verb is absent from the phrase. Also, it will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. 'you are speaking' is not an interrogative statement and cannot ask a question. Thus, it cannot be used in this case.
Option D is incorrect. 'speak you' itself is a grammatically incorrect statement as the pronoun cannot come after the verb.
