单选题 According to the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, if a culture has more expressions for certain concepts, it shows that ______.

A、 these concepts are more important than others
B、 the culture is very much advanced and civilized
C、 other concepts will be perceived as unimportant
D、 these expressions developed earlier in the language

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】在文章第三段中作者提出“Different cultures perceive the world…assigned one or two words．”，即不同文化以不同的方式审视世界。从文化方面来看，一些重要的、必不可少的事物、条件、过程通常采用丰富的词汇来定义，而一些不重要的事物常常仅用一两个单词表示。由此可推断答案为A。
