Giải thích đáp án:

A. ...while modern linguistic analysis fully explains language origins - SAI: Cụm "fully explains" (giải thích trọn vẹn) là sai, vì bài đọc nhấn mạnh vẫn còn nhiều bí ẩn ("mystery", "promises to further illuminate").

B. Human language evolved from basic gestures and sounds to complex structures, driven by social needs, brain and vocal tract adaptations, and reflected in modern language analysis and ongoing research - ĐÚNG: Tóm tắt đầy đủ các ý chính: Quá trình (đơn giản -> phức tạp), Động lực (xã hội + sinh học), và Hiện tại (nghiên cứu).

C. ...limiting the usefulness of current research - SAI: Bài nói nghiên cứu mang lại "valuable insights" (hiểu biết giá trị), không phải "limited usefulness" (ít hữu ích).

D. ...evolution fully explained by studying brain regions and vocal tracts - SAI: Sai ở ý "fully explained" và bỏ qua yếu tố xã hội (social interaction) trong phần giải thích.
