Read the fragment below.

“The Referential Function is the one most commonly addressed in ESL/EFL settings because it concerns descriptions or contextual information. According to Holenstein (1974) it “dominates ordinary discourse [because we] designate objects and bestow them with meaning” (p.156). The most common topics addressed in beginning ESL/EFL course materials concern the surrounding environment (e.g., classroom objects and procedures, asking for or giving directions) or describing actions in physical or chronological context (e.g. daily routine, telling time.).” (Tribus, Angela C., 2017)

Analyzing the Referential Function as applied on the context above, it is correct to affirm that:

• A. “As students proceed through intermediate and advanced levels of study, their breadth of vocabulary expands, and they should not express more complex ideas with accuracy, once the function underlying each of these utterances is referential because of the orientation towards context.”
  
• B. “As students proceed through intermediate and advanced levels of study, their breadth of vocabulary expands, and they are able to express more complex ideas with accuracy, but the function underlying each of these utterances is referential because of the orientation towards context.”
  
• C. “As students proceed through intermediate and advanced levels of study, their breadth of vocabulary expands, and they are able to express more complex ideas with accuracy, but the function underlying each of these utterances is never referential because of the orientation towards context.”
  
• D. “As students proceed through intermediate and advanced levels of study, their breadth of vocabulary never expands, and they are not able to express more complex ideas with accuracy, because of the overusing of the referential function underlying each of these utterances.”
